Great story Gavin. Know the feeling about moving to Oz... I just never got on the plane!

Nothing wrong with XR2s...

Ouch!

Andy, it's time to export...

I'm pretty sure a used car salesman suit was consigned to the charity shop a long time ago...

I've moved this topic to the Stolen Vehicles and Fraud category as I think it fits better there

Great idea for a Forum topic!

It must have been good to make you feel 21 again!

I've been ranting (there's a surprise) about useless gadgets in cars in the latest issue of the magazine. I have a few pet hates about quite a few new inventions. But what about you? Is there any new fangled car tech you'd consign to Room 101 alongside mine?

Did I say thanks for the post ;)

Hi Karl. Thanks for the post. Just moved it here from the Today's talking points forum as that's for comments from the website. Thanks for the post.

Our pleasure. Fair play for the mankini...

Do you really need one? We take pictures on iPhones and often these are even good enough to print in the magazine. When you're advertising cars online an iPhone 5S will take extremely good quality pictures that will be far bigger than any web advertising site will be able to deal with. Just a thought...

Here it is: http://cardealermagazine.co.uk/publish/interview-put-questions-dvla-chief-executive-oliver-morley/84065

There will be in the not too distant future... I'll share the link when it goes live

Awesome. Welcome along guys. You can follow @bangers4ben and tweet pictures of your car. I'm running that account for the event. Looking forward to seeing you there!

I can read this Andy, you know that right?

We can't help it if the guy is media trained and doesn't want to give straight answers... We tried and tried to get the answers we know everyone wanted but he was hard work, according to Batch.

Hi James I've investigated this fully now and unfortunately it's been a combination of mishearing, lack of knowledge and poor checking. Our reporter unfortunately misheard 'CR-V' for 'CRB'. Which we all know is neither a car or bike. To compound matters our freelance sub-editor didn't spot it, instead googled CRB to check what it was, didn't realise if it had been a bike to should have been CBR and didn't bother to ask any of us here - despite the magazine being called 'Car Dealer'. To say this is embarrassing is an understatement. The team and I are all very annoyed this has happened and our apologies for the mistake. If you'd like to feature as our Member of the Month again next month we'd love to feature your business again - and this time get it right. If you'd like to take me up on this offer email me at james@blackballmedia.co.uk. Thanks for your continued support of Car Dealer.

Hi guys. Sorry about this. I'll slap the relevant person around the head. And you're right surname is style. First name and surname first instance then surname after that. It's been like that since issue one. Apologies about the errors though. I'll find out what happened.

Have you not had your issue yet?

Nope. I don't think it is. You have to register to post though.

If you've got a load of cars in stock with tax on them could you get that tax refunded now?

Possibly...

Green Giant and Umesh - fascinating comments as always. Love this thread it's great to read what your side of the fence thinks. Think we'll make this a special on next month's Comments Page :)
