Having spent a fair few shekels on snot screens and other PPE gear, I thought I'd lighten things up a bit for our customers...

just flew in to see tom this afternoon he says you can all get flecked

ribbed? or flavoured?

Hi Guys, Just to introduce myself.. We are a new small independent Trader in the Midlands. Will be dropping by occasionally to pick your brains. Hope business is being kind to you all. Regards, Steve

Moral of the story is when having your car serviced make sure they use a rubber to stamp the book

No ,BCA or ADT whatever it was called bought out Beiths and set up in Royston Road.I think they are still there.

Hi Guys an Gals, Just wanted to show my face. Ive been poaching information from here for 6 months or so and have found it a very inciteful place. I hope your all doing well and have got through this lockdown intact. I am just starting my car trader journey. Ive been fleet maintenance controller for a large accident managment company for many years but now feel the time is right to do something ive always loved. Ive always brought and sold, whether it be mountain bikes or antiques(i dealt for 2 years) and nothing sems to come close to the buzz of closing a deal. So im now in a position to go at this part time initially but hopefully moving fulltime in the next few months. I spoke to Ashley on here at UKGlobal who was very helpful and very competetive so it looks like ill be taking him up on his trade insurance quote in the next few days. Once thats done i will be applying for my first set of trade plates, something im really looking forward to for some strange reason.... I will be trading from home initially and curently have space for 4 vehicles to get me started. Whats the biggest piece of advice you would give someone in my postion? I hope to get to know you all a little better over the coming months as i pick your brains on new situations that may arise. Paul

I. the 70s I used to go to the Meat Market on a Wednesday when it became about 6 different car auctions for the day.I think it was Graham Square ,Gallowgate.Intercity was there,it was about 30 cars,mostly traders painted up stuff in those days.I only bought from Beith’s back then.After that,we used Newmains,Wishaw,then Shotts,CMA Glasgow,great memories and some amazing characters. Also,Royston Road on a Friday !

Hi, your guess is as good as anybody’s.
