  1. Just checked both and its not looking good. No doubt they will blame covid
  2. Anyone else having V5 issues. Bought two personal vehicles one in August and a bike about 6 weeks ago. No V5 for either yet, I even filled out a V62 and send the V5C for the car five or so weeks ago. Still nothing has arrived.
  3. We dont take cards at all, its BACS and very occasionally cash with small job but thats a pain in the ass to be honest. No ones has ever winged about BACS.
  4. Many years ago the auctioneer at Blackpool auctions (Shit hole with a very strange gene pool) Every single car that came though was always "in the best colour"
  5. To be far I've never had a long wait for a V5 for the DVLA.. Been waiting 4 weeks so far and still no sign, quick call in to them and they just blame Covid! I rang Sky the other day to discuss a new deal, after countless recorded messages it turns out the will only speak the the vulnerable or their carers, everyone else has go deal online. I have a warranty issue with a Fridge, its been going on for 6 weeks so far and getting know here fast, Covid being the problem. Seems to me poor service is just been glossed over with Covid as a wanky excuse Rant over

    Motoreasy

    Hence wanting to stick an all singing and dancing warranty on it.
  7. Anyone used Motoreasy for warranties? I only ask as Mrs C has fallen in love with and bought a X3 2.0d (I know) These are not high up on the reliability chart, I'm thinking of sticking a 3rd party warranty on it. I have these guys recommended but my ears are open. I used to use warrantywise back in the day when I traded and they were pretty pants.
  8. Can you pm me the reg no and what he wants for it? Thanks
  9. Thanks, I'm always looking for Transporters of varying specs and prices. I think Im going to go for new or Pre reg T6.1's as the deals are pretty good especially looking at the price of used
  10. Looking for LWB Highline Panel van DSG with a tailgate. And a second LWB Highline PV for customers. And I'm looking for two SWB Highlines for myself. Prices and demand has gone silly
  11. I'm trying to source a few Transporters for customers, prices are through the roof at the moment, I'm cringing and wincing.
  12. Im not thinking everyone is staying in the UK post covid. Its something I have been wanting to do before covid was even a word. You do realise I am already in the camper industry? year on year we have had good growth, the VW scene is strong. We build the things VW T6's and £25k gets me a nicely kitted out van. My customers generally know what they want and have the cash to spend, Its very different beast to the car trade, which I traded in for over 15 years before I made the switch.
  13. I'll make sure they head directly your way Interestingly there is no NCB as we know it in relation to hire out insurance, and its a total stand alone policy so Terry Fuckwit cant ruin my own NCB etc. I wont be spending a small fortune on repairs, the hirer pays for any damage and excess, in the same way you pay a deposit when you hire a car. No shitters are going in my mobile wardrobes
  14. Something I have wanted to do for a while, £50k only gets us two kitted out vans and insurance for a year. I had a really good conversion with a camper hire company in Scotland today, picked his brains about as many aspects as I could think of.
  15. So who's taken advantage? We will being going for the full £50k, we have a plan to do something with it that will hopefully help expand the business in to the camper rental market. First 12 months with no repayments and 2.5% after that it seemed rude not to. Worse case scenario, if it doesn't work we pay the money back.
  16. Richard Branston? King of Pickle
  17. Tom Harley Jnr has a good YouTube channel. Very knowledge able about his classics. I could watch him all day, can't say the same for Carl Hartley.
  18. Just wait till next year till, the Ambulance chances will be all over it. It'll be the new PPI/Accident claim Where you forced to go back to work? Did you get covid 19? We can help you claim... Blah blah blah.
  19. If B&Q can open I cant see why a car dealership can not open.
  20. I bought a Huawei Mate 20 lite, was about £150 a seriously belting phone for the money, no worse than Mrs C's expense Samsung.
  21. I used to engineer an extra £200 in to the price, I think the most I ever knocked off was £100 to make the hardened bargain hunter feel better. The extra £100 made me feel much better. I think they call it a win win.
  22. Its new ones, so wont effect me. DVLA have stopped reclassing conversions as "Motor caravans" on the V5, best we can get is "Van with Windows" But its made zero difference to us, people still want campers regardless of what it says om the V5
