  1. Read the back of your renewal notice. That's what the fuss is about.
  2. It seems to be quiet countrywide!
  3. A guy is walking the strip in Las Vegas and a fantastic-looking Vegas hooker catches his eye. He strikes up a conversation and eventually asks the hooker, "How much do you charge?" The Hooker replies, "It starts at $500 for a hand-job." The guy says, "$500 dollars! For a hand-job! Holy crap! No hand-job is worth that kind of money!" The hooker says, "Do you see that Denny's on the corner?" "Yes." "Do you see the Denny's about a block further down?" "Yes." "And beyond that, do you see that third Denny's?" "Yes." "Well," says the hooker, smiling invitingly, "I own those. And I own them because I give a hand-job that's worth $500." So the guy says, "What the hell? You only live once. I'll give it a try." They retire to a nearby motel. A short time later, the guy is sitting on the bed realizing that he has just experienced the hand-job of a lifetime, worth every bit of $500. He is so amazed, he says, "I suppose a blow-job is $1,000?" The hooker replies, "$1,500." "I wouldn't pay that for a blow-job!" The hooker replies, "Step over here to the window, big boy. Do you see that casino just across the street? I own that casino outright. And I own it because I give a blow-job that's worth every cent of $1,500." The guy, basking in the afterglow of that terrific hand-job, decides to put off the new car for another year or so and says, "Sign me up." Ten minutes later, he is sitting on the bed more amazed than before. He can scarcely believe it but he feels he truly got his money's worth. He decides to dip into the retirement savings for one glorious and unforgettable experience. He asks the hooker, "How much for some pussy?" The hooker says, "Come over here to the window, I want to show you something. Do you see how the whole city of Las Vegas is laid out before us: All those beautiful lights, gambling palaces and shows? "Damn!" the guy says, in awe, "You own the whole city?" No," the hooker replies, "but I would... if I had a pussy." There is always a catch to everything!
  4. Green Giant, you missed Buyer Premium. Delivery Charges. Auction SureCheck. Indemnity. Sundry Items (S).
  5. Looks like the website has gone already
  6. We spent a £1000 doing up this motor, but we are not going to tell you about the other £2000 we also spent!
  7. Using the wrong engine oil in a modern diesel adds to the problem. Low ash oils are required, but people skimp due to the stupid markups applied.
  8. When it comes to stop start local driving then Diesel was far better economy wise. Now due to all the emissions requirements Diesels are not suitable for local use.
  9. Unfortunately, it's only going to get worse.
  10. Nor Us. About as reliable as weather forecasts!
  11. I remember a few years ago when prices went crazy that we put some stock back through the block for a handsome profit!
  12. Movex was good until Manheim bought it, and screwed it up.
  13. It was discussed elsewhere over a year ago that a certain finance company whose name rhymes with Pluto was changing it's T & C's. Basically, if they refunded the customer, it was their right to reclaim off you, No ifs or buts. We don't deal with them, so I don't know what is in their T & C's.
  14. Unfortunately GPS tracker blockers that plug into a power socket are readily available and have been widely used by various van drivers for years to cover their tracks.
  15. You need to read the T & C's that you the dealer have agreed to with the finance company. Some lenders altered their T & C's when the CRA 2015 came in. The burden falls with the dealer NOT the lender.
  16. Why do most people change their vehicle? Because their is a costly fault with it! Why do franchise dealers trade their own franchise vehicles? Cost of reconditioning! Why do dealers sell on Dealer Auction instead of in the block? Nobody buys a car that limps into the hall! Most of the stuff coming off lease needs a service. We drive all potential trade-ins. It's surprising the number of punters that don't bother having a test drive as a result. Fix a cushion to your wall. Reduce the size of your headache.
  17. I clicked through the link to find the cost. £600 for a year!
  18. Will not make any difference as Joe Public already logs onto this forum.
  19. Rory. This could fall under the clause Not FIt For Purpose as it doesn't meet the Road Vehicle Regulations.
