    well done for shifting it,use the money wisely glasshopper i always try to work out the bottom bottom price if i need to shift something thats become my landmark but always add in customer warranty work if self warranting like me because when times are quiet its always the time we get big comebacks that eat that small profit my motto is if i have to bend to do the deal and it might go pear to a major moaner i would rather not do the deal theres always a bum for every seat remember,we just have to find the bums

    speaking to a trader at my place today and i commented on the fact he had properly transfixed his trade plates totally covering the cars number plates and mentioned apart from me no one else seems to do it round here,got fined he said for displaying cars plates and trade plates were in window,there you go,your local plod might turn a blind eye as every area is different, me i drill the front plates and affix the trade plate with 2 self tappers and for the rear i gaffer up the cars plate and usually hang the trade plate off the wiper with my old fashioned alloy plate still in its rubber holder,so all my cars have extra drilled front number plate holes

    my record is 13 months before i officially call it a landmark,normally 6 weeks and i get panicky and start totting up the failed advertising bills and looking why its still here and come again to the conclusion oddballs really should be left for others and just buy the top 10 second hand wanteds in best colours but who cant resist that ford in death blue at the end of the auction

    bit confused here,the stand on using trade plates is that they should be the only plates visible on the car whilst being driven,the days of putting them in the window have gone and now many police forces are fining for doing this,i dont know where you stand re going through the tunnel but your plates will be on the mid as recognised and this would be the only plate i would be registering prior to using the tunnel

    Theres too much medium out there to help us small independants survive and too many at it and too many people willing to still buy off kerbside buyers to save a bob,we are getting it from every angle and lets be honest here unless you have a large chrome place then customers seem to think we have no overheads,best is customer asks where do you get your stock because they've been looking for this model at the auctions for ages and there's non or it was dearer at hammer price for them but they still want all the add ons and want it cheper,roll on the day i can shut up shop and live on me £75 a week penshone

    new breather pipe £60 notes? are you mard? no breakers near you or even a s/h one from an internet seller? £60 pheew with regards the screen you could try g5 and a good mopping or just wet the screen prior to customer turning up or only advertise in light drizzle days to be honest more appraisals seems to be in order for you if you dont mind me saying, prior to waving the sales leaflet to fat john on the podimum that your desperate

    Lined a real nice car up for a local gent, known him 20 years,hes retired now and his daily driver finally conked last weekend,put a new mot on it tuesday after the break full service and made sure seeing as it would be coming to me for all work ever neeing it got the usual extra protection underneath to keep it in tip top condition,another local whos purchased from me called in saturday last week and also showed interest in it but i could only offer them second dabs if mr 1 cocked,guess what? he cocked on wednesday and turned up in a cmax with a hand grenade engine oh well lesson still not learned though,im too nice

    if you check on the vosa website the mot is updated instantly vosa dont direct link to dvla,not yet anyway as for road tax its sometimes takes a week and a car registered in my name still isnt showing as sorn even though i got a confirmation code a week and a half ago as you know this job is mainly down to crossing t's these days, rather than putting on the old sheepy and giving it large to the mugs er customers
  18. It's me
    yes you have are you happy to pay the same price as jo bloggs who doesnt present his cars for mot in checked condition ? i make sure my cars are checked prior to submission so expect passes and thus no retests and volume in business
