Just being a bit nosy really, my own background is IT, I did my degree in computing, I've then been teaching the same for the last 7-8 years, but I've moved into a position to get my self into the trade due to my passion for cars I was initially working my day Job mon-fri then on sat and sun was working for a big car dealer in my area I was doing the weekends mainly to stay around cars, I didn't really need that income, and I enjoyed every second of it, getting behind the wheel of most new cars, sports and prestige etc, great times !

Ha Ha - that's a funny one ... I was an Estate Agent up until the property market crashed in 1989 - I never know whether I moved up or down the social scale!

Having just had a very lengthy and complicated conversation with an operative at the wonderful DVLA, this is our understanding of the situation regarding cars in stock with valid RFL come October 1st. If the DVLA have been notified that 'the vehicle is in trade' prior to 1st October , then the RFL stays with the car until expiry, even when re registered to the next owner. If the car has not been registered as in trade come 1st October, then the RFL on the car is refunded back to the previous keeper when it is re registered after this date, as this will inform the dvla of the disposal of the vehicle by the previous keeper. It is the notification of disposal of a car which triggers the RFL refund. If anyone has any ideas on how we can continue to drive taxed trade cars going forward after the 1st October without self registering/taxing used cars, we would love to know ??!!

Hybrids, I can see that being an expensive fix over 10 years old!

electric parking brakes.... why oh why..... they go wrong with alarming regularity and cost £400 a corner to sort ! Whats wrong with using your arm and a lever.....

Shook hands on a deal for our car this evening - pictures on the Facebook page next week when we collect it. Apparently it was The Best Saloon Car In The World "back in the day"

This is what we need to do with our part exchanges throw some dirt and straw over them and say we found it in a barn and double up!

Andy I think reputation is one of the most important if not the most important element, especially when it comes to anything to do with cars, let it be servicing or sales. That is why it is so important to build your good reputation within this industry,
