    Hello everyone,

    It's been a while since I popped in and said hello, so wanted to drop you all a line. 

    Anything interesting out there we should be covering on Car Dealer website? Anything we're missing or not doing enough of?

    Would love to hear your thoughts on what you'd like to read more of.

    James

    Morning all, thanks for your emails and calls about the forum issues.

    I noted the strange different user name I was given when I clicked on the site today. However, when I went to start this post, all seemed fine. 

    Are people still experiencing problems? Are there any more extreme than that?

    If you let me know here we'll investigate.

    Apologies for the issues.

    Hello all

    Sorry I’ve been quiet. It’s been rather busy in the car dealer world and it turns out it’s not as simple to fill the internet as it is a magazine every month...

    Anyway, I’ve just been surfing the World Wide Web (I know, very dangerous) but it got me thinking (again, dangerous) about a feature on what used cars car dealers would avoid - so come on, hit me: what used car would you never ever buy and why?

    My starter for 10 - a Land Rover Freelander. Not only pretty rubbish but unbelievably unreliable by all accounts.

    What’s yours?

    Hope all well with you all too!

    I suspect they try to "vet" their potential customers to save time, so those with £70k budget looking at £80k cars are going to be somewhat frustrated.

    Some of his answers to James' questions were incredible too!

    I sense James has a soft spot for supercars (which is great). Personally for me, these kinds of dealers and interviews are good entertainment but somewhat irrelevant to day-to-day life.

    Suggest me some others - always looking for interviewees

    @have a word with the wife When the local council called me - which is how the update was produced - they specifically said the self employed grant scheme that went live this week would exclude those businesses from getting this help. It is important to note this new round of funding is to be handed out at the local authority's discretion too, so not everyone will get it.

    I am still hopeful that we will be included, hence the calls to my council
