It just started to get annoying when Dean would be all over Gaz from the Gordie Show or that Archie lad, doing videos and day trips out, all for views and PR, but wouldn’t phone back the actual customers like me that has the means to buy the cars. I’ll never understand it.
Some people want to be 'famous' and have that lifestyle, some don't. Nowt really wrong with either, but as you say you've taken your business elsewhere so that's a negative aspect for the dealers looking for that lifestyle.jon- said:

Oh yeah each to their own. It’s just daft that they’ve lost business because they’re not spending time focusing on their current customers. 2manycars said:
That’s appalling. It’s things like this why JD Classics probably went bust, that and stealing customers money haha.
I’ve just heard something similar about Prindiville, that they’ve gone into Admin and they’ve got people’s money that they never have to them from S.O.R cars, whether that’s true or not.
Just checked and yep. They've gone. Seems it was the HMRC leading it. I’ve just heard something similar about Prindiville, that they’ve gone into Admin and they’ve got people’s money that they never have to them from S.O.R cars, whether that’s true or not.

Turns out it was S.O.R and Prindiville never gave the money to the customer. That’s how I found out, just wanted to see whether it was real or not. Turns out it was, especially if HMRC and the Police are involved. Ouch.

100%.
What’ve you got then, share the wealth?
God, nothing even close to your garage! And I seem to have the cars you hate too (a string of Aston Martins, fortunate enough to now have a Shooting Brake). What’ve you got then, share the wealth?
But the public love them, I guess that’s the James Bond connection? And in the same way that I can remember as a child seeing my first Aston Martin, I’m happy to share that joy. I don’t think they should be garage queens and Topaz do the PPF for me, so no worries about people scratching them etc
Just trying to work out how to do more with them. Thinking about rejoining Sporting Bears

Can you please by an F50 already. I'd happily swap nuggets for a quick sit inside one. What’ve you got then, share the wealth?
I passed an opportunity to sit in one a few years back (massive crowd of people probably all hoping to get the chance and I didn't want to be the guy who started the chaos - even though the owner had offered) I still kick myself for saying no.

I’ve got a chance to get a 250 GT SWB so looks like I’ll add that to my 250 collection before the F50. Already got enough modern fast Ferrari’s coming with the 812SF, the F8 Tributo, Pista and Pista Spider, not to mention that I’m still waiting for the nod on my Monza SP2. Doesn’t mean I’m not getting the F50 though, just not at the top of my list at the moment.

The cars to come sound brilliant as ever.

I'm not pushing at all and understand my chance to ever sit in an F50 has probably passed by. I was honoured that the guy asked me to help him put the bonnets & boots up on his F50. That's enough for me I guess.

There’ll be another chance buddy, I’ll probably pick one up next year..........after I’ve made 50 YouTube videos about whether I should buy one, picking one out, picking it up, insuring it, and then loads of walk arounds The cars to come sound brilliant as ever.
