Good morning from Croke Park.
Last night I had one of the best steaks I ever remember having. Tomahawk in Temple Bar area of Dublin.
Also, what does one have to do to convince a car dealership that you want to buy and that they should take you seriously???

.... what does one have to do to convince a car dealership that you want to buy and that they should take you seriously???.....

I have twice gone back to dealerships (Chiswick Peugeot and Tetbury Audi) and said, "Hey, look at that car I arrived in - I bought that today from someone else because you were to useless to even give me the time of day last week." They just shrugged indifferently. These things are less satisfying than one hopes.

Morning all!...........Well, it's the 22nd today and today my wife and I have been married for 22 years..............God; I hope she doesn't want sex tonight................We did it last year!

I'm sure someone on the forum could help you out with that.

I realise they're like that at times! The rep who I saw on Tuesday didn't get back to me within 48hours when what he needed to email me was simple and I'd reply asap. I then called yesterday to speak to the range specialist, didn't get through so asked for a call back. Three hours later I called back and asked for management. I informed them that I'm trying to buy a car, am ready to do a deal and what my needs are to ensure that happens. Said manager has assured me I shalln't be disappointed again. I shall, however, get in touch with their competitors now, even though I think I've found the car I want!

Morning Gentlemen.
Absolutely Stunning here in Laval this morning.
If I had my Boxster S I would be out for a drive.
Hopefully rectify that when over in the UK this coming week.
Have a Great Saturday all.
Happy Birthday Dan Andrews.

Morning all, never got out of the house yesterday so all to do today now. Also this weekend I need to get the Mas ready for a wedding Friday. It is on standby to be the grooms car.

Happy birthday Dan.

Have fun all...

Morning All,
Just had a text from guy at storage place, car is out and ready to go. Weather looks good for 3 days so that’s me sorted. Got lots to do, wife has a list and I don’t think car shenanigans are top of it, as Company director I may have to realign priorities.
Have a good weekend,
Dan, have a great day,
Dave

Morning all. A lie in after a busy week and then I’ll be packing a bag ready to head off to Palma at the crack of dawn for a few days sailing with mates. My usual room at the Betty Ford Clinic is already reserved for my return next Friday...

Good morning from Dublin. Last day here but it's great fun... even if you realise a sharp and subtle exit is required from the pub when 5 armed coppers show up because they're really needed.
More chasing people to try and get them to sell me something that I want to buy and they need to sell.
HapPea Saturday!

No more codeine. On the rare occasions I was able to pee it was coming out like Cuprinol.
Now lying in agony trying to be nice to people. Struggling.
