Yay, M rated road tax!

Otherwise it will be interesting to see how prices compare to the independants. Hopefully its a direct match to USD prices biggrin
However I doubt it.

Au contraire; $1 will directly match up to £1 just as it has always done!

I'd have been interested in working at this new dealership if it weren't for the fact that I'm about to start at Porsche West London on Monday.

Anyone want to buy a GT2 RS???

I expect that Rob is hoping that he becomes a supplying dealer and can have one as a demo...

That wouldn't be the Porsche centre that I spent 45 minutes hanging around to buy myself a new 997, got fed up with being ignored (and the showroom wasn't even mildly busy) so exited and bought one from Porsche Bournemouth would it?!

Best of luck with your new post and kick them up the 'arris.......

I see there'll only be one official dealer for the Vette...I'm guessing discounts will be a challenge frown

Thanks very much Sean!

How many miles have you done in the Z so far?

Thank you Martin! By and large I have enjoyed my time at Volvo (especially the C30 T5) but the lure of fast cars was too strong when the recruitment chap came a-calling.

With regard to the poor sales service, how long ago was it that you were ignored in the showroom? I know there has been quite a bit of sales management/executive turnover in the last 9 months so hopefully a better service will be on hand now... If it was more recent than that, please let me know and I will pass on the feedback.

James, I see you haven't yet added the new car to your Pistonheads garage!

It's not exactly worthy of mention when I already have 2 of them, one with an identical colour combination. This one does have an LSD fitted though. I have run out of parking spaces now, so it might end up outside your house until I take the Landy back up north.



I've never had such a cheap daily driver. Even my first car cost twice as much as this!

I cheat on her with the GT-R.

Hang on a minute, I'm not sure a Vette is really a "she"? Anway, they're both cool with the arrangement ;o)

Assuming GM will release a clear turn signal for IVA requirements on the Camaro?

Since LEDs have been getting brighter we favour the original look anyway, rather than the aftermarket clear lenses(Camaro) or the expensive amber Corvette ones: http://www.shipmycar.co.uk/invisible+iva.html

The Camaro was our press and demonstrator, the same car we lent to Chevrolet UK for Huntingdon.

I did make it to the Moving Motor Show Martin, interestingly every manufacturer we work with was represented their so I had plenty of people to meet. Did you make it?
