Slip & Grip

[tm_r33]

Hey all just thought id mention the new parts shop opening in Hobart. Right in town. Watchorn street, little one wayer that runs from liverpool to bathurst. Anyway i went up for a look today but hasnt quite opened yet. Its called... SLIP & GRIP RACEGEAR.

From what ive heard from a bloke whos been in the shop already they have some pretty good gear. They will be the dealer down here for KTS suspension i know that much. Dont Know the name of the guy whos opening/owning but no doubt someone on here will. Did a search and doesnt seem like anyone has mentioned it on here yet so ill start the Hype

Anyone know anymore about this...

I spoke to an old school mate a while ago and he is opening the store.

He has quite a lot of knowledge in the import scene and is really having a crack!

I hope people support him, We can never have to many businesses like this around!

I wish him all the best. (Used to live with Dave and Sam Murray in Kingo - Tim Brown) some of you would know him.

Pretty sure we already do, my condolences to whoever goes bust first. A town the size of Hobart can't support 3+ Import specific parts retailers.

And we all know none of them will go close to matching the prices you can buy stuff online for (e.g. via perfectrun etc).

However, good luck to them, personally in this instance I would LOVE to be wrong and see them all prosper.
