10 minutes ago I was on the verge of completely losing it with a complete *** of a punter.

Times like this make me appreciate the forum as I can come on here and get sensible conversation with nice people.

GM Forum - Its good for my sanity!

Ten right hooks more like DCB, in my game there are many prats but this guy was the biggest clown I have had in 10 years in the trade.

Will try calming techniques I suppose and if it works for Tiger, it could work for me.

Ah, but I always thought that puching a customers lights out was bad for business? Known a few customers in my time who deserved it, but, bit my lip and walked away! Thankfully not involved in sales at the moment, but, been there got the scars to prove it.

If it's not probing an open wound, what was the gist of it?

haggle-mental buyer?

servicing tw1t?

test drive t1t?


feel free to tell me to 'eff off for being so impertinent but sometimes a problem shared is a problem halved and all that.

I have a car for £3795, by comparrison it is a minimum of £500 cheaper than identical cars with the same mileage within 200 miles. It has full AUDI service history, has just had a new cam-belt, has 12 months ticket and 6 months tax, it comes with 12 months warranty.

This idiot, being very serious, offered me £1200 after wasting 1/2 hour of my time.

Hence why I am an ickle bit tense.

Jon, follow my five steps that will keep you calm

5. Stick the heid on the tw4t.
4. Three rapid to his boat race.
3. A swift boot to the Gladston Small's.
2. drag him screaming and kicking up and down the car lot
1. Dip into his wallet and extract £100+ for your inconvenience.

John, you're a martyr mate. How you managed to stop yourself turning this nutter into high viscosity gearbox oil is a testament to the human will.

Beyond the pail doesn't even begin to cover it.

On the bright side - there's always golf at a nice new club to be thinking about this weekend.

Put on the rather appropriate 'Sanatarium', 'Master of Puppets' 'Orion (part1) or 'Enter Sandman' and bop round the room air-guitaring the five iron while dropping this idiot firmly in the part of the brain marked '@£$*^& £%&'.





...or you could just kick the cat if you can catch it

Like it Bill,

BTW, I know where there is a very cheap Landcruiser Colorado 3.0 DIESEL auto VX. Just over 100k with 13 service stamps. It is very very cheap. I have no interest in it financially or in any other way but as an LC man thought I would let you know.

That's very kind of you MWJ. If only I had known you 18 months ago. Those things are bulletproof and 100k is just a warm-up.

Don't know what i'll do if Ken finally gets his greedy mits on it.


.....drive the beastie through his building no doubt. (that won't finish it either)

If anyones out there looking for a leviathan 4x4 built to NATO spec. with the reliability of an atomic clock and the build of a Lexus give MWJ a call and bite his hand off. In 20 years time the history books will be astounded we were ever allowed to drive them without an MOD licence.

Laugh at Rangeys. Sniff at Cayannes. Pity Landies.

Not to be missed.

out of interest MWJ what did you say to the guy once he'd made the offer? Something which requires a large amount of sensoring no doubt.

I told him simply to F.O and remove himself from my premises as he was no longer welcome after 1st asking him if he was pulling my plonker.
Wasnt an arsenal fan by any chance??? Most of them are plonkers.
