Guys

It seems to me that the bottom line - in this market (i.e. super lurvlie smashing fast cars) - that the cars sell themselves - and in my opinion - that, for me, the sale is based on the relationhip with the dealer.

I know where I go for anything TVR (Fernies) - I've had various issues with HR Owen (Ferraris and Lamborghinis) - but still go back - I've had issues with SA Classics - which some people rave about.

I'd have no qualms buying off RossoCorsa - but - hey - that's just my opinion!

Richard,
Do you categorically deny ever breaking any speed limit in a customer's car? Do you also completely, unequivocably, deny ever speeding in a customer's car and getting them notification from the authorities as a result?
If so I'd suggest you have a good case for suing and you could get the details of the owner traced possibly via ip logs from the ferrarichat forum.

Have to say I've never seen you drive a Ferrari erratically but Saab's.... well that's a different story!

Pleeeeeaaaassseeeeee! we have a garage in London, selling Ferrari's how can you ask this question, every morning the A40 flow rate is above the speed limit at 7.00am, by 8.30am it's different (blocked solid). Dubbs, I would never say that I have not exceeded the 30mph limit or on the M40 the 70 limit, could you?????

Absolutely, my licence is available for inspection. No if's but or maybe, so are all my staff's. I've never been told of one, ever - and I guess I'd hear pretty damn fast!

... the saab, my own Ferrari's, what I do in my personal carriages in France (or the UK) is between me, god ... and the magistrates (but not seen them in well over 3 years and I have a clean licence (touch wood) - very hard to preserve in this market)

So I guess we're all clear on that? :-)

Cheers
Richard

I've been a passenger in a Ferrari that he drove very erratically. But it was his own, so that's ok

I've been a passenger in your Cerbera that you drove erratically, but was your own, so that's ok!

PS. I don't get any of this dealer excitement with a Honda - the thing never goes near a garage in the first place! It's terrible - you never get invited to the service manager's wedding, have a regular place to go for a coffee every Saturday morning, ... My life is so quiet now

Yes, if I remember correctly you drove over the foot of a friend of mine in your Saab...
