Hi all! We have been experiencing an issue on site where threads have been missing the latest postings. The platform host Vanilla are working on this issue. A workaround that has been used by some is to navigate back from 1 to 10+ pages to re-sync the thread and this will then show the latest posts. Thanks, Mike.

Been done before. She's a very shrewd operator, was on Dragons Den and turned the money down. She watches where the visitors to her site come from, and then registers on the forums to say hello and chat. She's been in here chatting before too!

Hahahaha, I notice loads of you Irish jumping around on my site like... hmmm, what is that small Irish animal? Forgotten.... Leppinghorn or something. We don't have them in UK or China.

Anyway, wear sunglasses. Nits.

Don't be shocked, I know you are all very sensitive people - unlike you lot, I am Chinese not Catholic, so I can't do miracles

Lovely to see you. Hurry up and buy cars (from your local dealers) before Euro devalues. Sorry, but I cannot supply cars to Free State, just to Northern Blitish Province of public service Blitish Government workers. You are in a different country, you see.

The website seems a bit much at first, but I think it grows on you...the little annotations on everything really do give it a nice touch!

And the missile picture is awesome :pac:

I did watch Dr Strangelove for the first time, so I thought "why not get on for a ride?" 3-2-1 FIRE! hahaha!

Apart from some small point about current financial situation (I know ie is going through pain, UK next), there is an issue over the size of the Irish car market. Just a bit too small.

Unfortunately, my judgement is that Ireland does not have critical mass of new car market to be able to make the volume work. Hence your current lease options are very expensive. You see I manage to do this in the UK - DESPITE the manufacturers and dealer networks who largely HATE me with all their hearts (except the dealers who quietly process my cars, they love me but dare not publicly support me).

To move new cars, you are supposed to be "brand", part of an unspoken price-fixing cartel, and DEFINITELY not Chinese, female and gobshyte.

I hope I can show these letters without people moaning (they are from the Northern province) to illustrate my point about the spiteful dealers who have a cartel:

My new Mercedes CLS arrived on time and just as you have suggested. I think you should use the slogan "does exactly what it says on the tin" as everything that you said would happen, did happen on time. It is refreshing to deal with a company that does not over or under promise, and just delivers. The main Merc dealer in Belfast was not too pleased that they could not match either your price or delivery time. They also kept trying to sell me extras that I did not need. I have recommended your service to a lot of our employees in Lincoln, and I will use your service to change your wife's car in the new year. Good delivery of my CLS and on time.

I'm a very happy customer. My local BMW dealership said that they couldn't match your price and they implied that you could not be legitimate! But now, I've got a great brand new BMW Coupe for a great price with very little pain. So thanks a lot! The handover was very smooth and painless and the car is great! I'll be back in touch when this lease finishes for the next car.
