Braking news: Pit Stop’s reduced-price specials!

19 September, 2017

Time — the one thing we all want more of, but can never have. If you’re reading this, chances are you have a project car — or maybe even a few — taking up whatever time you can spare for the cause. It’s the cars we want to work on that take priority, which can make it hard to take care of the mundane attention your boring daily-driver needs. 

If you drive a 4×4, SUV, or ute, let the team at Pit Stop worry about that — for a limited time, Pit Stop are offering reduced-price deals on brake pads and rotors for 4x4s, SUVs, and utes. 
This offer isn’t going to stick around, though, so make sure you swing by your local Pit Stop, and if you haven’t even got the time for that, all you’ve got to do is visit the Pit Stop locations page here and find out which of the 45 branches is closest to you! 

To book online or see the offer terms and conditions, visit the Reduced Price Brake Special page here or call 0800 748 786. 

Super affordable supercar

The owner of this 1978 GTV, Stephen Perry, with only a skerrick of wishful thinking, says through half-closed eyes, “It is not dissimilar to the Maserati Khamsin”.
The nose is particularly trim and elegant from all angles, featuring cut-outs for the headlights echoing Alfa’s own exotic Montreal. The body is unfussy, lean with lots of glass, and the roofline shows a faint family resemblance — although on a much more angular car — to the curved waistline of the earlier 105s. The slightly hunched rear means there’s much more space in the rear seats than in the cramped rear of 105s — very much a 2+2 — and a generous boot. These more severe lines are not quite as endearing as the 105’s but they are still classy and clearly European.
