Corvette is alive and well and selling comparatively briskly from 8 Albion Street, Manchester. En parle Francais, Italiano, Deutsch, Espagnol, y Euro.

Manchester works just fine for us.
You can fly here from your local airport, buy a car, and we pay for your air ticket.
If we move to an expensive southern location, you end up paying for it.

'tis the same 'cept the footy players play for Chelsea and their houses don't get robbed everytime they go to work.....probably less traffic jams in Liverpool.

Traffic is getting worse in Liverpool as prices come down but Giros remain constant.

Happy New Year David!

I am currently learning about Motability customers. I'm sure there must be plenty of those in Liverpool... They'll all be popping over to see you in your new showroom, although the Alfa 147 1.6 TS Turismo might be a bit steep at £4187 as an advance payment.

Personally, I'd take the lovely little Volvo C30 1.6 R-Design Sport for £649 - reasonably cheap motoring at just £216/year including all insurance, servicing and road tax costs. I feel a hobble coming on - did someone mention "Disability Living Allowance"???

MR Brown is discriminating against wealthy disabled now that they only get 15% off their new car rather than 17.5%. Running in demand cars for twelve months and selling them on might actually cost them a few £ now....(not that any cars are in demand anymore and almost anything will loose at least 15% in the first year.
Judging by the 58 plate 599 I saw the other week with a disabled badge in the window at least one person has had a nice saving on a new ferrari!

Volvo C30 - selling those must feel like prostitution Mr.Tankard?

An ex-Hyundai dealer couldn't have put it better! I'm considering going the whole hog and putting my @rse up for sale...

Actually I really like the drive of the C30 T5 but don't tell anyone!
