Be surprised how many traders sell cars to brits living in Bermuda, Gibraltar and Malta. As someone who has spent a lot time in malta over the last few years, UK cars being sent over there is big business. Ironically touching on another post in the private members lounge Fiat 500s are big news over there, Only with Aircon Mind. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SC Derby 259 Posted November 16, 2016 One of the pipeline deals converted into a sale this morning and the second is coming back for a test drive tomorrow. Picked up again all of a sudden. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SC Derby 259 Posted November 17, 2016 two fresh deals this morning, but the second 'pipeline' deal fell through as they thought the clutch was a bit stiff. Can't win 'em all. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Had a test drive on a 330d Touring, he fell in love with the car, couldn't have gone any better, and he still walked! Perhaps I need to change my after shave! I have got two promising appointments for tomorrow though. If I don't convert either of these, I'm picking up an application form for Tesco!! The irony is, I had a great start to the month, then just dropped off a cliff.... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Everything coming in seems to be missing a locking wheel nut key. Countless time wasters...but then they all come out when it's quiet. Crap weather.....making valeting more of a pain than usual PS the smart money is in night shifts at ASDA ...no really it is Seeing as the 'like button has vanished, I do like this post.
