For a name, that is. Spotted one of their trucks in London:

Daytona RS6 C5 Avant. Viper'd, Billies, Waggers, MTM box brain, C6 stoppers, xcarlink, R8 coolant cap (woohoo)
///M3 E46 | XC90 (V8, natch) | Passat GTE | RR Classic V8 flapper

At least they're still in business, the "Jim'll finger it" fish finger sandwich van wasn't so lucky.

Even though their "finger in a buttie" was pretty grim, Jim was still instrumental in their demise. I also heard that Jeremy Beadle might have had a small hand in it.
