You maybe a nut job (no offence!) but if he thinks manufacturers or dealers are going to stop supplying (selling) car via you he is just plain mad.

Hellloooo,

Well, well. The veneer of minor TV C-List celebrity slips eh?

"listen you nut job if you tag me in one of your childish tweets again I will close you down...don't push me!" - Mike Brewer.

Now, seriously, I agree I may be a nutjob, but here we have a mildly well-known person threatening to close me down, publish bad customer reviews: "have you read the tons of bad reviews you get" "don't worry I'll find some and post them up for you..it'll be a pleasure." ... threatening to send cease and desist letters if I publish his public Tweets to me "Do.. And receive a seize and desist letter." ( I think he's confusing me with one of Ed China's engines with "seize and desist" heh.)

I might tell it like it is, after he said publicly I have a failing business ...me> "LINGsCARS net worth £504k, Mike Brewer Motors Ltd net worth £16k": [AND] "you only own 16% of Mike Brewer Motors Ltd"

But honestly, this outpouring of nastiness is a reflection that a real person is often very different from the TV personality they portray on the telly.

Brewers leasing business seems to have closed, I had already fallen out with him because he didn't include VAT in his personal deals when he launched it - which is quite illegal. That's why he remembers me as a "nutjob". I had the temerity to question his business model.

Fun on a Thursday afternoon, eh?

His nephew worked for me once.

He didn't make it past the probationary period.

Not everyday I get threatened with having my business shut down (and 10 people out of work) by a Wheeler Dealer TV personality chappy.

If i couod be arsed to work out how to "do" twitter, i'd send that bloke abuse.

His show is crap. He's an arse. edd china does everything for him, then he calls "profit" despite valuing edd's labour as nil. This is whilst being a cockney wker, and not even a good one at that.

In the blue corner, we have ling. i've never met her, but think the way she does her marketing is very clever. Viz, rockets by the a1, using British stereotypes in her favour etc - you all think she's mad but i bet she's not and it's just a persona to get more hits per pound than any other car leasing / offloading site. Hats off to her/him (does ling even exist, or. Is she like churchill's dog??), if it wasn't for the fact that twitter is for aholes, i'd call him a tit on your behalf.

hehe you should read the thread properly, Ling has posted a few times.

I used to like watching Wheeler Dealers so my piss could boil at Brewer and I would enjoy moaning at the TV. Then I'd relax while watching Ed do the real work in the garage.

Oh, i've read the thread - but the poster saying they're ling vaentine could well be a fat bloke called dennis - we'd never know.

As i said, i love the marketing angle, i think it's clever. If there is a real ling and she is / isn't utterly mental, then even better. Either way, she's better than that asshat with the cockney acdent who's show blights my telly until i turn it over.

He is a bit of a keyboard warrior, I asked him if he hated Jap cars given the crap he's done to them know Wheeler Dealers (RX7 and Skyline particularly, he didn't take it well.

Would it convince you if she posted something on Twitter like: "That's really me on PH, not Dennis"?

Ling, you know what to do. biggrin

My company did a set of alloys for Wheeler Dealers, free of course, in return for a 0.00000000001 of a second clip of our logo.

I didn't take them up on the offer a second time when they called again. Not a pleasant man.

I honestly think that in this scenario, Brewer has been munching down enough "wrong end of the stick" pills to tranquillise a small village!
