On my way or back to/from Thruxton 1986 I stopped at Ripp's 'warehouse' @ 54 Fore Street in North London and picked up a thing or two. While roaming around there I saw Stud Nicolao running around. As I got later to know at that time he was co-proprietor of Ripspeed company. Now I think there is pub on the premesis (?).

I used to stop at Ripspeed in Edmonton on my way home from Minispares when it was at Friern Barnet.

Yes it is, I walk past it when going to Spurs.  Used to go to 'Ripoffs' back in the 1980s

I used to buy from the Luton store which was quite near my business. I got a trade discount as well.
