Me. Why on earth would anyone want to prop-up the other parasitical economies of Southern & Eastern Europe with our money is beyond me. Would anyone here want any of our glorious politicians negotiating a deal on their behalf?

+1. All that most of the greedy sods see is the price. Personally I’d hang scammers but I also have little sympathy for many of the gormless greedy bastards who are ripped off.

Where does she get the milk from?

You can’t con an honest man.

I’m just back & have been away since the middle of last week so put the ‘out of office’ message on my emails, eBay & phone. Typically when I’m on holiday I seem to of missed numerous calls - whether or not any of them were serious I guess I’ll find out on subsequent discussions (but I suspect one idiot after another).

Anyone on Sytner or half of the cheeky fuckers on DA

I must be wrong again . Mine’s something like £192+VAT for 25 cars eBay only.

gwill1010, you’re nothing but a cunt.

These auction house inspections are fucking shit.

But eBay don’t do a 20 car package, do they?

You lads are just being greedy.

I thought it was just me. A cold caller has an 08 80K mile petrol Megane CC painted by Ray Charles. He thinks he’s trading in gold dust. He claims he’s put on new brakes, brake pipes etc. for the MOT. It books at something like £520 Average money. He values it at £1200, I say “Provisionally £600 ASSUMING IT’S ALL GOOD, THAT MEANS 100% OK” & tell him to go & sort his finances out. When he leaves I quickly check the MOT history. It has 4 months MOT on it & the brake pipes/discs etc. we’re replaced at the PREVIOUS MOT 20 months ago! Fucking bullshitters, if we dealt like the public we’d be up before the bench.

For an internet trader like me it’s dickheads’ day anyway, weekend punters aren’t really my bag. They always seem to either have “others to see”, need to “think about it” or find some alleged issue to give them an excuse to walk away - basically tyrekickers not ready to buy. Any business I do is sometime during Mon-Fri.

Uploading a video of you committing bestiality with a dog should get you plenty of watchers on Facebook. Probably a lot of likes too.

London ULEZ zone; I’m in the north east & I was told this week by a punter on an old Renault (greedy scum) that I should be grateful to get any interest at all in diesel cars & should take any offer (this was about 2 minutes before I chased this peasant away from the premises). He also added that diesels are outlawed in 3 years time in Scotland. I answered “Really? Just as well we’re not in Scotland then, isn’t it?”. Pitiful.

Do you know what insurance band it’s in?

Fuck me, imagine dancing to the tune of them messers

How much is the road tax?

Last price?

It won’t be me, I don’t miss it one bit.

Unless you painted a panel on a black car red 99% of punters wouldn’t have a clue.

It depends on the standard of repair you want & the cars you’re repairing. Top painters cost top money (tbh they won’t want trade work anyway) but if, like me, you believe the average punter wouldn’t know a bad job from a good job then any thinners-sniffing idiot with spray gun will do. No joking here, I use a 73 year old half-blind pensioner whos finish is as rough as a badger’s arse (orange peel a go-go), any filler work makes you sea-sick just looking at it and he isn’t shy with the paint judging by the overspray. I have NEVER had an adverse comment about his work from a punter.

You’ll be lucky if there’s a floor left under the rear seats. Rotboxes, drive like pure shit (tbh I’d say they’re verging on dangerous) BUT there’s a very loyal hardcore who will pay the earth for them.
