Bling Posted January 14, 2011 Share Posted January 14, 2011 Pop into a local garage, buy some beers you'll drink if they say no..... and just walking upto one of the guys and say you got a box of beers if they can fit and balance 4 tyres. Worth a shot, even if you get shot down you can go have a beer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
