I must admit, any red or amber light on a french powered lot's assured report is quite appealing :)

I've always been a Renault man. Sadly the trade has learned not to mock them anymore, they are a damn fine product and the old french wives tales are a thing of the past, sadly resulting in lesser margins for us original french boys.

The one car that has given me more bang for my buck was the Espace, think I did just short of a double century before they fell off the cliff to be replaced by the 'Grands'. The only car I'd travel for, the only car I never got outbid on (until the last year or so when a guy in Kent started buying them all presumably for export to France )and the only 7 seater you could sell that you knew would never come back for anything major. Just a very well made and thoughtful car. Still see the odd one going through with ridiculously low guide prices that are usually smashed. As for the OP, you will need a new virgin key and of course programming.

Well said.

Nor me, it's a rather bizarre point of view.

All of this. They missed a huge chance when the goal was gaping, not it's just got smaller. Very silly.

Basically a licence to print money.

Off 5 you say. Think I'll have to break my cherry and give this a listen.

I'd go with this. I'm sure we could get it organised. Obviously those that pay get an award and a VIP night out which includes hookers, columbian marching powder and dwarfs.

I'm presuming next gear and bca didn't put a gun to the head of dealers when they were considering signing up? You live by the sword....

I know there are more important things going on, but the lack of moderation on this site is concerning. If they can't be moderated then put some systems in place to stop attention seekers like the OP from starting thread after thread. If it was my forum I'd be having a word or doing something before folk leave and don't come back.

You have to take your hat off to both Jim and Umesh. I mean, they don't have to do what they have done and continue to do. I certainly wouldn't be arsed with it. There are not many in this trade who have my full respect, but these guys do. Just a shame Jim no longer posts on here, maybe now that certain posters (who bizarrely had beef with the IMDA) have rightly been asked to leave Jim could get back on the pitch.

Every cloud....

Lovely. Dividends next please.

Your enjoying this a but too much for my liking. Very odd behaviour but that's the internet for you. Toodle pips indeed.

I wouldn't want to see what's on his hard drive.

Is there anything worse on a message board than a ' I know something you don't know' post without backing it up?

Opportunity to 'get straight' and work on the golf swing. Although judging by today's prices, it looks like business as usual.

Surely the Mail and Express wouldn't be involved in scaremongering, would they.......

Sorry I can't help, but back in the day after they were raped by the pheonix four, boy did I shift some MG's, no doubt many did. The ZR's in particular were like shelling peas. I've often looked at the newer ones ( probably from a nostalgia point of view) and apart from the badge, there is nothing about them that shouts 'MG' and haven't bothered with them, the four door saloon model is particularly a horrible piece of work. No doubt they still have a following which is good, but I can't help think the designers at the new MG have missed a trick. Anyway, the MG SVR, what a car that was, at I time when I actually liked cars rather than hated the fecking things.

So whose been proper nawty?

Indeed. Amazing how those sixes and nines often get mixed up.

I think your quoting the wrong person, I couldn't give a flying feck about AT or their price markers. If your having AT problems I feel bad for you son, I've got 99 problems but AT ain't one, hit me.

Did they put a gun to your head Narcos style when they did this? I'm sorry you seem to be struggling with the job I really am, but this attitude is everything that is wrong with modern society. FFS, take some responsibility for you own actions, man the fuck up and start to row your own canoe. Jeez, just when you think you've read it all.

No need to apologise to me, not sure when AD was appointed moderator of this forum but hey ho. I know a couple of LR specialists ( one dealing purely in classics) who have done very well out of them. I've often thought of getting into them as if ever a location suited them it's North Wales but didn't want to go down the route of employing mechanics and setting up extra workshops to keep the bloody things on the road. Stick to what you know and all that.
