  1. There was a lovely quote on here from someone many years ago. "When it's sunny my lender wants to lend me an umbrella, when it's raining he wants to take it away".
  2. Wise words I know. Yes I know some do well on SL, but there are many SL bitches out there along with a good few who have lost the shirt off their back. At current prices I'm guessing there are a good few of them now experiencing squeaky bum time, never mind.

    Mr Bob

    I'll have a p please bob.
  4. Wouldn't want to spend any time with them, and I'd hate to see what's on their hard drive.
  5. Some sort of hire to buy scheme appeared on my fb feed the other day. 2004 Ford C Max, £250 down and then £40 a week. It had been taken. I can't remember but let's be generous and say it was only a 2 year agreement, that's some mark up and what's basically a scrapper.
  6. Sourcing stock has got even harder, advertising has got even more expensive, there are more chancers in the game, stocking loans are still king and my seat belts are still mouldy. Anyway, welcome back, and about those airline tickets.....
  7. Seems like Mr Warne has thrown us a bit of a googly here.
  8. Sorry to here that mate. It's help feather your nest so better to have loved and lost etc. I agree though, did really well off it for a long time and the ups more than out weighed the downs, but I've given it a fair go these last few weeks and I agree, it's ruined. Which makes you wonder, have they ruined it deliberately? ****s.
  9. No worries mate. I didn't want to tempt fate but I was pretty sure they went down to your neck of the woods. Glad I could help.
  10. Bit of a long shot but the guys I use for transporting from Scotland are very good and unlike many others, have a diary they stick to. Give one of the guys at Nelson Car Transport in Kinross a call, worth a go.
  11. Maybe. Further problems are going to arise when the days in stock markers shows. Imagine having a car with a high marker and god forbid a 90 plus day in stock marker, you've got no chance. It's embarrassing reading Chris Penny trying to justify this on the fb page, his spin makes Borris and Jezza sound credible.
  12. If this is smart buying I'd hate to think what stupid buying looks like. Who in god's name signed this off? Thinking about it, that makes sense.
  13. I'v emailed a few trusted vendors I bought off to give them my thoughts. What a complete and utter dog's dinner that have made of that. One can only presume the folk of Wilson towers found some acid down the back of the sofa when they were designing that.
  14. I had a quick look through portal and it looked like Danniella Westbrook's face after a night on crack so left it there. What are you getting off this that you can't get through manhein or DA?

    a

    It doesn't have a dummy holder.
  16. Really? Jeez, I wouldn't want to see the hard drive of any potential buyer.
  17. No idea. Have you tried here www.mumsnet.com ?
  18. I'm more a two piece variety man myself. Chicken Hotwings, mmmmmmmmm.
  19. Mine was the same. Thankfully my man is clued up as I was astounded he said it was the DMF as that's a noise we all know and love. There were no traditional signs of it being knackered, but as ever, he was right. New DMF, clutch, bolts etc and I've never seen the car since, that was six months ago on a 55k Mokka.
  20. Hopefully Milwaukee do some deals. I'm becoming a bit of a perv over their stuff.
  21. Had a similar situation with a 1.7 Mokka earlier in the year, was making some really strange noises on start up, not all the time it has to be said. Replaced the DMF and clutch and problem solved. Probably not what you wanted to hear on a monday morning.
