A good friend of mine worked there until recently. He told me early last week that DeVries are on their way out. Luckily for him he got out just before christmas.

De Vries Hull were always first rate when I was running Honda's - just a shame they didn't have a BMW franchise IMHO!

I heard they were struggling in the good times... was only a matter of time in the current climate before they went pop. It's a shame, but shiny dealerships and good customer service can't save some dealers.

Rules of Petrolhead Speak

1) Honda Accord and Top Notch should never be used in the same sentence!

Al, I have to say, they were ultra reliable even though were made to scream for mercy pretty much all the time hehe

Hey Stu,

Hungry Vulva isn't so hungry now, actually being quite reasonable. Smoking stopped, only puffs a bit in heavy HEAVY traffic

Currently up for sale as I've just bought some parts for the BMW so hoping she's back on the road soon thumbup

As for John and Cadwell, we're down there for a track day on the 15th of Feb mate, I'm there as designate camera monkey and the rest are tearing it up over the mountain yes
