I'm already guessing which car sales place it might be in Bridgend... I've wondered around most of them and a couple of the big ones I'll never bother with again... "Boss Dave doesn't like his softly softly approach" is giving me a clue as I don't respond well to the hard sell smile

Two salesmen at the opposite ends of the used-car market trading places.

Should be worth a watch ... wink

Knowing UK media's usually anti-Brit Car stance, I wonder if any of "my" favourite cars will be featured in a positive light. Fat chance.

Let me guess, the sales technique that applies to the top of the market doesn't work when applied to the bottom and vice versa.

Stratos and a Delta S4, very nice!

Screw the 1 1/2 hour commute though!

Notice they haven't said how much Louis earns. The funny thing is I doubt it's vastly more than the other chap. Hence he lives 90 mins away somewhere cheap!
