Cant deny he built an empire from nothing

Met him once in one of his showrooms

Ever the trier tried to better a deal I had from another dealership

[S2red]

Nearly 12 hours and no one offended :-)

Anyone know what Arnold Clark in Bishopbriggs is up to ?

The offices between the Toyota and Renault have been demolished and no sign of any planning applications for the site being levelled

May just be creating more display area but would have thought that would need a planning application?

[S2red]

Looks like the demolished offices between the Renault & Toyota garages in Bishopbriggs are being turned into hard standing display area or parking

May even be staff parking to get cars away from filling surrounding streets Aye right :-)

[S2red]

I'd be surprised if the rear premises did not have access to main road All you would need to do would be fence you boundary at front and that area is effectively worthless

But you never know

[S2red]

Toy warehouse was there before Arnold bought VW dealership I think

Noticed last night that the printers (I think) that was in between Park's BMW/Mini and Henry's Skoda on Kyle Street is in the process of being demolished. Expansion by one of those two possibly?

Often wondered about the site across form Parks and that has never been used but as Parks have service centre just up the road cant see them being interested

Maybe a newcomer will build on it

Quick look in online planning suggest more student accommodation?

Drove past Hardies in Larbert last night showroom empty notices directing you to Stirling Suzuki

Wonder if it will re open or prime site for flats near station

[S2red]

Nothing in Glasgow planning portal for that site apart from changing Citroen frontage and 7 flats on Minerva st

[S2red]

Ah I was looking at wrong side of Minerva street :-)

[S2red]

Odd when I think about it, AM's are fairly regular sight in Glasgow but cant think when I last saw a late model RR

Jobs saved?

Sad in a way seeing all the cars just sitting there like the ones on AC Bishopbriggs near me brake disks getting rustier by the day and who knows what else

7-8 weeks now and not moved

Though interesting spotting which manufacturers disks rust the most :-)

[S2red]

Housing site there is odd is it not wall to wall dealerships?

Travis Perkins next door to AC in Bishopbriggs closed wonder if they will take over site?

Drove past AC Bishopbriggs earlier this evening and the Renault/Dacia side is empty. Nothing on forecourt, showrooms empty and in darkness. Closed or rebranding.

That branch has been there for as long as I care to recall. I remember it vaguely as Bishopbriggs Motor Co back when I was a lad - it sold Chryslers back then

That must have been a while ago :-) I remember Chryslers at bottom of Balgrayhill road The garage next to me has been Renault as long as I have been here

I grew up in Bishopbriggs, and always remember the AC garage as Renault, though I'm sure it had a petrol forecourt, possibly Burmah?

Yes the frontage lends itself to a filling station though there used to be one opposite where retirement flats are
