WHAT A FANTASTIC EVENT! Great event guys ! A Massive well done to everyone at the Car Dealer Mag Team , you guys did an amazing job, eventful day packed with so much info, sadly didn't get chance to get round to do everything I had planned. Great to meet up with so many people as well, many I've met previously but so many new 'twitter' friends! I could ramble on for ages, but anyone who missed it , you really ought to make it to the next one #CDX16 - 24th May , its a day to remember. Thank you again guys !

Just trying to buy via simulcast at leeds commercials, it keeps on dropping out and there is a huge delay and it's not down to my internet connection. Absolute rubbish as far as I'm concerned. The old one was better.

Due to launch tomorrow the Car Dealer Magazine Conference and Expo Event at Silverstone, Facebook for the Forecourt is an excellent series of videos & tutorials produced by Neil & David of Neil Weightman Digital Media. Personally I’m really excited as I have been lucky enough to sneak a preview and feel that EVERYONE can benefit from this Product! I even feature in some of the videos as Neil and I discuss our very own success with Facebook. If you are going to Silverstone tomorrow make sure you grab two minutes with Neil & David at Stand 230 but in the meantime why not click on the link below to register your interest NOW! Keep an eye out for a very special PROMO Code just for our very own Twitter Car Dealers Forum, which will give you a discount over and above the special launch price! http://www.fbfortheforecourt.com/ Kind regards Jim

One of My New Years Resolutions was to never I'll never use autotrader again and here's why. Back in 2008/09 I signed up to Dealer Edit for a 3 month trial period, cancelled it after the 3 months as it was just to expensive for my size of business reverted back to just using ebay and advertising selected Vans on autotader on an individual basis. Over the years I've found out that for some reason Vauxhall Vivaro's sell better when advertised on Autotrader, So last year I Placed an advert for a very desirable model in a good colour with sensible miles, after 3 weeks still not one phone call so I go to check pricing and edit the ad if required, ad appears as usual with the brief description and contact numbers but when you clicked on it you got an error message, tried all of my other ad's and they did the same, phoned autotrader who said that they would work to get the issue resolved but I wanted to know why this had happened to all of my ad's and nobody else's. A couple of days later I got a phone call from a Very Polite lady who said that she'd received an email from another department who said the problem was caused by a block on my email address placed by the dealer edit department. She didn't know why or how long this had been going on for but would find out for me and let me know. I got her direct line number and name and she said she would personally deal with it. Several phone calls from me to her later I've never got hold of her again, left several messages not one replied to and still to this day I don't know how long had the email block had been in place? Was it only a few weeks? As I'd just told the the rep never to contact me again as I wasn't interested in Dealer Edit I was quite happy as I was. Or had it been in place for all those years since I cancelled my dealer edit subscription? Guess I'll never know and but I do know that his is the only new years resolution that I've managed to keep.
