    I couldn't survive on just my web sales. I'm based in Royston Vasey and sell local cars to local people. I'm on an industrial estate but with a busy workshop next door and a builders yard the other side, so my passing traffic is steady.

    That said, I sold 2 Corsas into Cornwall this year. They wouldn't have come from local advertising or word of mouth. Quite why someone would make a 4 hour round trip for a Corsa is beyond me but I ain't complaining.

    I couldn't be happier with Manheim Bristol. 

    I bought a Passat on Friday with apparently good tyres all round (4mm in acceptable condition). It just failed its MOT on four tyres (badly worn on inner edges). Scanned and sent the failure sheet and within 2 hours I get an agreement for the cost of four tyres.

    Those will largely be the ones rinsing the system anyway (usually with an over-inflated sense of entitlement).

    One of the biggest abuses of the system I ever saw was while working for a Jaguar dealer with AM attached and an AM customer had a steering wheel aid put on pre-delivery simply so he could claim the VAT back (yes, I know it's slightly off topic but I'm feeling ranty).

    I shouldn't really complain as the claim was way over the claims limit and they paid up to that limit, but I was talking to the claims department about a head gasket (£1,500+VAT!!!!) and in passing she said they never pay for skimming heads as it's "desirable from an engineering point of view but unless it's warped it ain't covered".

    Seriously?

    I use Worldpay for my card machine simply because the company recommended by Santander wanted a business plan just to stick a card machine in (ridiculous!!).

    Santander don't take business money over the counter, by the way but you can bank your money at the Post Office instead.

    1st one this morning. I'm not complaining. Last December was my opening and I sold 2 units. Batten down the hatches til January

    If only I'd saved from the oodles of cash I've paid myself instead of squandering it on frivolities like food (and wine. And loose women) I'd bugger off somewhere for the month.
