  1. 1dolla 30 yesterday thanks James for the latest news I've spent my life never talking down business or people if they tried but failed but this cazoo played a whole different tune and I never liked the sounds
  2. it's the greys that get me, I used to ask people when they were taking them back for the top coat to be added not used tekaloid but we used to use sadolin with white spirit boil the paint bang it in the gun and shoot, if you didn't get any snots the finish was superb used to roller mk2 transits young uns of today don't believe I once rollered a mk 2 granny
  3. slow is an understatement red always difficult, reason being in the distant past they always faded and this theory still stands in the minds of many
  4. there's a video on u tube regarding fires in China, quite frightening once they get thermal runaway, apparently in London they drop them into a skip of water as the only way to put the things out the electric viking on the same channel is also worth listening to with regards the future
  5. https://spactrack.io/spac-detail/?symbol=CZOO
  6. he signed the PDI 40 minutes prior and drove away best of luck with that one
  7. he's rejected the car after 40 mins he has the right to a full refund get it back fix it and sell it again probably for more if you find he misfueled it consider the small claims court at this stage you are on the wrong side of consumer law sorry
  8. stills nuts a n d getting nuttier
  9. what a brilliant idea, buy an ex car dealership fill it with motors and let customers view them, once purchased they can be delivered, a great great idea well done Peter vardys doing the job just like me and thousands of others selling used cars (sorry formerly owned horseless carriages) and putting the customer first thanks james great update
  10. Big news early next week I feel
  11. I still buy those cheap mats off ebay They make photos look mint but you nearly crack a bone when you get in car and they slide
  12. Never owned a moskvich van but in 73/74 I was working with a bloke who bought a brand new one in battleship grey (trends eh,they always come back) anyway he had had it 2 days and we were sat in it and the screen exploded,we both jumped and thought we had been shot,memory says it was a 2 stroke but I'm not sure
  13. I had the dubious pleasure of blowing a big lump of money on a samurai aptly name I was taking it to the auctions to sell as no interest from the autotrader advert,it dropped a big end on the way there and engines weren't available,sold it from the back pages the following week underscores or repairs,he's probably still got it Bought a 2 year 11month skoda estelle as it had a scrape on a wheel arch,with it being that new no paint available in a rattlecan so I went to the main dealer big place even then,they basically said go away we don't do that old crap anymore we are selling the felicia models now OK they were better cars but they rotted like wet kellogs cornflakes boxes left out in the rain,still not sure how to take a battery out of one
  14. under gdpr this information will never be forwarded. if car came from customer direct I always electronically transfer it into my trade before I allow them to leave my premises and give them a paper copy of all details, sorted then if no v5 offered unless there's a definitive trail I won't take it because its even needed if I weigh it in as we get paid direct into account, too many baddies out there these days
  15. savage 500 wheel trims on lada before they were named rivas when we got the samara they came with a full bodykit
  16. it needs more than a plug in to confirm this suggest whatever he stays away from this buyer nice way to nick motors innnnit
  17. just pulled this out of one of the lockups, been there since 1988,its got new plugs new leads and fresh duckhans 20/50 and a new quinton Hazel oil filter all sourced as original when this lada was imported new in 87,i wonder if I put it in auction if it will attain the same price as 4 tomatoes are down sainsbobs
  18. just renewed and its only gone up 50 knicker, we'll pleased
  19. I see they are starting afire sale I've just looked at the Longbenton site and there's lots of cars parked on grass in a field
  20. I can't help but can advise if I ever take a car into stock with no v5 I open a dvla chat to confirm its showing as in trade then mark the time and date the chat was made on my white board your car maybe not in trade
  21. I broken this rule this week purely because I've got an empty yard, yes I can sell it but it hurt to pay for it, to be honest I feel embarrassed selling cars at the sane prices as 3 years ago now I've bit the bullet I'm going to do the same again this week as I hate twirling my fingers and trying to find things to do
  22. latest news from James today nearly had me fall off my chair what a nice company to deal with had 2 cars back today, minor niggles both sorted as customers waited, no charge and off they went, how much new blood will that get me? lots I would think
  23. just read James article and I think the big bang is coming sooner than I thought thanks james
