    Mhm interesting, I really do not have an opinion about that, maybe I am on that side as yours. For example I have a big family, 3 kids ... two boys and one girl ( hah I think it is a lot )and all the things as car seats I have bought on Baby jogger Strollers. It is a nice site which has a lot of good products and to be honest I was very well surprised about the quality and prices. I have recommended it to all my friends and they also was very satisfied.

    I'm not sure but my next door neighbour does have an auntie in the RAF?

    Worked with a South African salesman who was fantastic, great salesman but he could also be really rude and customers didn't notice / loved it / thought it was funny. 

    One of his best 

    Customer: I've been to a ford and they are going to give me £3000 in px for my car, what can you do?! 

    Salesman: Grab your stuff, Let's go, I'll give you a lift down there!!!

    I don’t believe this story.I think that what has really happened is that Lookers has got a third party to float the story in the hope a white knight will rescue them.They are a household name with a lot of freehold property to sell off or maybe sell and lease back,and they are cheap.

    It's on that basis I reckon Pendragon would be interested? 

    They used to love a big merger every couple of years, sell off what they didn't want (usually VAG group franchises) and sale and leaseback all the properties with RBS I think? 

    They have been a bit toothless since the old guard left but maybe, just maybe....

    :lol::lol:  What do you mean MORE problems? He didn’t seem to have a problem shagging that young chap & he also never had a problem with his reputation by shagging that same young chap behind his Mrs’s back. 

    He should be advertising Teflon.

    BHM, You just don't understand! Phil was being so, so, brave by coming out!!

    Probably been asked a million times before but what do people think is the best Wet Vac and what do you use with it cleaning wise? 

    Would appreciate everyone's opinion even if the answer is Krystof at the hand car wash on the main road!!

    I live in a village in the middle of nowhere, I take my cars down a country lane to do the pictures. 

    Anyway, bare with me on this..... 

    Was going down there today and what did I find.... A Cazoo Transporter!!! 

    Curiousity took the better of me so I stopped for a chat with the driver.  I opened with the line, "Hello, I've seen you advertising on the TV, How are things going? "

    Now he did seem to have swallowed the company handbook but this is what he said..... 

    We are SO busy..... 

    We've taken on another 32 drivers who have started the 2 week training course today. 

    We've sold 1000 cars in 3 months, better than any expectations. 

    We are not even fully staffed yet. 

    About 5% of the cars get returned which is in line with expectations. 

     

    Not sure whether to believe him or not but here's the best bit.... 

    So I said "You just delivering this one then?" 

    And he said.... "No, collecting it!!!!!!"

    Maybe just my opinion but I think Vauxhall have got to be one of the worst manufacturers out there. 

    Does anyone actually aspire to want a Vauxhall? 

    Half their customers are in so much neg eq that they only way to get out of it is to have another Vauxhall. 

    What do they actually do really well? 

    Maybe different under Peugeot but their previous range was just re badged versions of other manufacturers cars and vans. Vauxhall Agila anyone?! 

    As I said, just my opinion but I think they are a really poor manufacturer and would do well to survive.

    Just a question for people on dealer auction..... 

    Following the joint venture / bastardisation from Autotrader, Those that have had it previously can pay around £200 a year I think whilst others now pay £99 a month 

    I just want to know if those that are paying the yearly fee still get the search / buying facility from the private adverts on Autotrader or just get the online and physical auction listing? 

    Cheers!

    I've just looked up Cazoo, they have about 120+ staff already and a fair few of them are ex zoopla which is the last start up the guy done. 

    Raised about 57 million and reckon they will have 1000 cars in stock at any one time, making noises about disrupting the market and being around for a long time. 

    Fair enough, but how are they going to do it? Zoopla was only a vehicle enabling sellers to sell houses, they didn't actually buy any of the houses themselves, renovate them or buy them back off screamers? 

    I will watch them with interest because if they make it work then we can learn from them, if they can't we can have a good laugh!
