Do you know Dunc, I thought exactly the same as I was driving home from work, wondered how much it was worth and how many off us it would take to own our own personal dealership.
The pnly thing is that they are AndrewS's preferred dealer and I am not sure if having Andrew as a customer would be a bonus or a liabilty

Big 5 got banned from the Ford dealers 30 metres away from where he works, mainly 'cos of his uncle who's an absolute
banning AndrewS might be a bigger challenge....
Anyway, it would never make any money because nobody would want to pay dealer prices if they could get staff rates

OK, how about "hello chap, AndrewS here, i've broken it again, and I was only driving it, up a 50 degree slope with a 30 degree cross slope so it's a design fault, so please fix it again, it was being driven well within its design paramters at the time"

Not sure about that. I wanted to book some work in today and was told that they could look at it but could not order parts. Had no idea when their account would be unfrozen. Hope they get it sorted. Then all they need to do is be a bit more realistic on new car discounts and they'll be great again.

I suppose a new gearbox for my FFRR would blow a fair hole in that:-)
