  1. Well.....I do know of a Polish guy back in Brighton who sold a Passat on a dark winters evening. Passats were his stock in trade. .... took full payment then, the following morning swopped the nice interior out of it only to put in a really tired one back in its place...same colour though and cloth for cloth. Customer 'sort' of noticed but thoight he must of missed it.....and got away with it
  2. Still miss Tony from BCA Enfield and also did Paddock Wood. ... had some crackers and in later years always tried to work out (and odten fail) the yearly average on the low miles gear with help from his audience. "more 'istory than the Tower Of London boys" "handful of owners" A real gentleman too, retired a few years back.
  3. We live in a touristy bit of Norfolk. Was talking to the wife and friends (4 of us!) about the current crop of visitors this year, seems ours is the worst on record too with regards courtesy, manners and driving habits too....must the dreggs that usually do the rougher parts of the Costas I guess and I thought I was bad
  4. Best of luck sir, you sound well 'sound' enough to do well.
  5. I wonder if the great unwashed mask less brigade are those likely to ask for "waz ya bst pryce 4 kesh m8"on initial contact..... I reckon there's a correlation there to be found I mean, there's a lot I don't agree with and a mask isn't a panacea but, common sense goes with wearing a mask. I've been reasonably lucky with punters lately, only had three with mask wearing issues. .....a district maternity nurse, a carer for the elderly both proper tattooed up munters and a young male copper go figure. The copper did wear one when asked, the others were of a don't give a fuck attitude which was worrying.
  6. I wouldn't want to owning chunks of commercial office property at the moment.
  7. I think this should one be posted on the Magic Circle forum ....JLR's current wiring make 60's Lucas Prince of Darkness look top notch, without the addition of a dose of saltwater. Best of luck with though
  8. BHM touched on this months ago.... ..... .a simple use of the search function may of brought this to light..... Covid probably It's odd isn't it. Because we are all with the automotive 'bubble' where its a case of 'no grafty, no payee' and, things seem relatively normal, once you step outside of this 'bubble' it's amazing just how many aren't working, just how many services have restrictions on them.
  9. Luckily not 67 ..... there were two plate year tags from memory 1/67 was E reg', then 8/67 was F reg....hence the amount of E reggies was half the normal amount.
  10. My sdvice would be stay away from sub 5k gear.....the punters will suck your will to live Best of luck, you obviously have the balls or you wouldn't be starting up the business what with Covid situation.
  11. Got to say, they were alway poverty spec but, never had a bad one.
  12. A plastic one at that too, guys a wrong ern, walk away
  13. Dark green MOD Astras st Bedford, ahh the memories
  14. I've been to Germany recently, different world over there, the VAST and huge majority are wearing masks anywhere outside of their home. My brother has a house in Denia Spain, last week he witnessed an argumentitive maskless Brit getting slapped with a 105 euro fine..... the alternative was a trip to the local nick, which he was very close to. Apparently, the Spanish police officer even spoke reasonable english and, tried to do the decent thing pointing out the error of the guys ways but, there's no educating pork. Mr 'won't wear a mask guy' was a well educated Rupert, not some beer bellied tatt'd up lager lout. * nothing wrong with beer bellies, mines stupendous.
  15. I believe most police forces fleet are now leased and have been for many years. My friend Dave works for BT and they service a lot of other vehicle fleets, good earner. Their tightest customers are the lease companies for the plod squad, everything is cheapest possible, buy cheap buy twice attitude doesn't compute with them.....that said I've not spoken with him for over three years
