We once had a customer who turned up at 1750 every Friday for 3 weeks leaving after our 1800 closing time. Pissed off the salesman on duty and 4th Friday he was locked in the showroom and had to be released by the petrol pump attendant. Never seen him after that. I used to like when someone went away to think about it and came back 2 days later and the car they looked at was sold.
I recall having a guy round to see a car I had for sale. He was unsure about several things and wouldn't put a deposit on it, but deffo wanted it. Muck Fe did he moan off on one when he phoned back two days later ans wanted to come back "sorry mate" the day after you uhmed and arrhed, Chap came round, paid cash and drove it way, you are a snoozer and a loozer
If you want an unusual event on holiday.
We were in Goa, India in a taxi to a night market. At a junction, middle of the road. A guy clutches his chest. Falls back brown bread.
People stepped over him, talking to their friends, didn’t even look down.
Cars drove around him.
A driver ahead got out.
At last someone kind will help?
Nope. Dragged him to the side of the road by his ankles.
Someone else held their hands up, upset. Family?
No checked his pockets for cash, then looking bit cheesed off walked away.
Our driver didn’t let us out. He Said “no. police. bad”
Clearly they’re worried about being dragged into some investigation or linked to the incident.
Not much dignity in death. Well for the poor at any rate.
If you attend the dead in India you become responsible for there final rites ie funeral and that is true
We make boats mainly for rivers and canals we have had customers that carry on for ages even as long as 3 years, keeps asking for a quote on different sizes of boat. Some have visited many times and finally they have said we have the money and we will send you a deposit, and that's the last we have heard from them. One man order a boat we started building it he paid us a few thousand deposit, and we never saw him again he didn't answer his mobile or reply to e mails. Don't worry we all get them.
Many years ago I worked for a retailer where in one branch an elderly chap collapsed and died by the checkouts. On that day it was very quiet and a young supervisor had been left in charge. In summary he phoned the manager to tell him what had happened but not to worry about sales as he had taken the deceased customer on a trolley into the warehouse so that the store could continue to trade.
The paramedics attended and were quite rightly shocked to find the body propped up against the wall on a pallet after only been told that a customer had collapsed. The ramifications for the business were huge and they managed to keep the publicity quiet but at a substantial cost. Different times.
If that wasn't so horrifying it would be funny, who in their right mind moves someone has away particular when Paramedics coming etc !!!
The constant rain is ruining a lot more things including the food not growing in the fields !
Indeed, if it lasts harvests are ruined.
Miss the car tade a bit . Get to relive it through this channel !
cant say i miss it, VAT , TAXES and dealing with the public.
Size of that bloody sandwich!!
I’m telling you this place will replace coronation street as a tv series any day now!
Hilarious 😂
Oh and the music as he electro cycles down the road…just the beginning 😂
Mate and I had a back street garage and it was sometimes like the local clubhouse. Regulars stopped by whilst walking the dog, woman opposite in and out to use the phone and various traders just to kill time between deals. Bit inconvenient when we were busy but a Godsend if one of us on holiday or out collecting parts as another pair of hands always useful.
This July is like a monsoon, OK not quite that bad, but it's certainly a very soggy July.
Same last year and every year. 2 good weeks early in the summer and then 2 and the start of autumn is your lot.😂
lol Lee when you mentioned not chasing the lady who was test driving the Mokka as her son was built like a brick shit house , I thought you were maybe asking him to lift a car up without a jack for some unknown reason 😂😂 love the channel keep up the good work, it’s a thumbs up from me
I have a Meriva VXR and had the same problem with the power steering. Had it sent off to ECU testing for it to be refurbished. Touch wood. I've not had any problems with it since, and it comes with a lifetime warranty on it.
Really like your videos looking forward to seeing the next one
thanks Lee another great video looking forward to your auction videos this week . Gonna miss that c max kicking about lovely looking car that one .
Thanks 👍
With all this rain, you might need to start selling boats! Complete washout this summer at the moment.
We’ve had a week of sun this summer - what more do you want?
Lol man on bike : D
🤣👍
Really enjoyed this video, a day in the life would be great!
Rainy Day , no spyers only buyers !😊
That sausage and bacon bap looked massive, hope it wasn't too expensive. Great video and content.
A jolly good chunter there, Lee. There is always "that" customer whatever business you're in. Not always with a Son, built like a big Shitzen Housen, however lol.
I have to say, vehicle score is fantastic. Im looking for a newer car right now and having seen some cars i quite fancied ive been using vehicle score to check them. Its saved me from buying a car with dodgy mileage already. Definitely worth using
3 series saloon seems pretty popular still alongside passats.
Great video by a great man👌👌👍
Good video , you're a good man.
Great video, such a lot going re certain customers, thought about keeping a log, you could write a book later in retirement.
I buy from original central car auctions in Glasgow Lee very decent prices ,,, Arnold Clarke now own it 😊
Excellent video as always lee 👍
Thanks 👍
I had a 3 year old original Meriva with 12k miles. The power steering used to fail every month or so. Apparently it was a common fault and Vauxhall knew about it. There was an ongoing class action against GM, but they were ignoring it.
So l part ex’d the car ( losing a pile of money) as l wouldn’t have liked to have sold it privately
I thought I was subscribed as I've been watching for probably a year now and only just realised I wasn't. Your videos are always getting recommended to me in the sidebar. So the CZcams algo must like you.
thanks rogue trader 👍👍
Hi Lee, I would really interested how you valet your cars, you do always seem to them internally at least looking great, thanks again for another great video, keep well.
I love going to Spain, the Canaries and so on but I would not like to be the victim of a crime when over there. Thankfully the worst I have had is my phone stolen but that was enough to form my opinion.
Hope the rain clears up the rest of the week!
Thanks sp
More chance of her coming back with a deposit than us winning the euro 🇬🇧🇬🇧💪
The Rain does not stop so no wonder people don't come and buy cars. You make your cars better than most dealers as you know what to look for. Did you sort out your MOT tester issue? Await more from you Lee.😀👍
🎉
Grumpy Chops!
A wee question about engine management light..firstly my EML is not on...but if i do an OBD scan could it find any issues even if light isn't on ?..would doing a scan coz any issues..hope all that make sense lol👍
Nice Volvo C30....🤔
@8:28 Yeah, but the worst is the 1.4 Turbo.
ahhh the auld electric bike is back!!!
Been using it for over a year now, always comes in handy
Your a funny guy. Enjoy your videos. Are the Hyundai i20 1tr any good?
Also do all i10 manuals have clutch problems?
I was wondering where that bike had gone. Lol.
I thought you might have sold it to Man on Bike!!
Which topdon diagnostic did you tell us to buy, any discount codes please as well
Man on byke never sell car 😂
👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
I always think of Palma Nova as the posh part of Magalluf.with them been next door to each other, been to Majorca 5 times , Twice to Magalluf also Palma Nova, Santa Ponsa & Alcudia at 54 won't be going to Magalluf again ot Alcudia as it stinks due to been reclaimed & its also bad oman , within 2 days my ex Mrs died suddenly. The woman who messes you about Lee if she lives 10 doors down if she doesn't return when shes walking past ask her jokingly when shes buying it. She might think next time i better buy it. Regarding test drives i must have bought at least 40 cars since i was 17 . Ive only once ever taken a test drive and that was only because the garage owner chucked me the keys & said give it a good test drive, i bought it.
Them Chevy’s were Daewoo
Yes daewoo went bust in the early 2000's and gm rebranded there share of the company Chevrolet in Europe. The cruze is based on a the astra opel platform
@@carukchannel Went to the Earls court motor show in 1996 i think,didn't think much of the Daewoo's & Nissan Almera's but the 406 look ok. I worked for Daewoo in late 90's...they were poop! Wiper arm rusted within 4 yrs
I see you still have the merc
glad your not grifting car verticle like salvage rebuilds rip you off with
Lee when are we going to see footage of you on that bike wearing your Lycra and helmet on. Great vlog mate.
I would look well in lycra I feel 👍😁
@@carukchannel MAMIL = Middle Aged Man In Lycra 😂😂
Used have a cruise was a low mileage one aswell hard to sell and not worth much didn't even get 900quid was a 60plate the same
We have always done well with them, never struggle to sell them. Although most were hatchbacks unlike this one so we will see

Isn’t the advice not to buy a car in the rain??😊
Do you get mistaken for Jeremy Vine?
is that dyu bike any good as i thought about getting one cheers
yes decent little fold away bike ideal for just throwing in the back of a car
Im guessing she did return & bought it.
You don’t half get some great customers 🤣🤣🤣🤣
most important job of the day is a hot bacon & sausage butty dripping with butter 😁
👍
Thing is when someone dies or is killed in Spain a magistrate has to arrive and confirm the death with a doctor before the body can be moved.👍
Very sad news about the poor Irish bloke. Hope it didn’t spoil your holiday. We have a similar scene you have with your test driver. My wife owns a crystal and holistic stall every time shes at a certain venue the same lady comes and picks the The same holistic item up asks what it is how much what the dimensions are and can my wife put it away for her and she will be back later that day with the cash but never comes with the money. At a. Different location a man told my wife to keep the change which was about 12 quid and to pay it forward to someone else so my wife used it to pay for the item said lady always comes for and gave the lady the item for free the lady took it an hour later a man I presume her husband came down raging demanding their money back as they don’t need this kind of stuff . Took about an hour convincing him. It was a gift from us.😂
A good deed always goes punished....
What we all want to know mate, is what was that sausage and bacon barm like.
A strong 8/10 🤣👍
It looks a bit bleak mate. Have you thought of some planting, shrubs some small growing trees?.
Crewe is very bleak tbh 🤣No your right I do need to improve the site but profitability needs to be achieved first which we are near towards before splashing out cash
With the lady who keeps turning up to test drive different cars , You should politely ask her if she can contribute towards your petrol costs as obviously if she's driving it around 5 miles out then 5 miles back there's 10 miles of petrol gone and nowadays 10 miles has got to be around £1.50p sounds petty but your in business to make money not lose money and in regards to her son being a very big lad i don't think he would be violent as he cant be that daft in this day and age he knows cameras everywhere and GBH is like 5 years in prison , my cousin used to go around in Kings Lynn acting Jack the Lad and he ended up in prison , it was a good thing for him as they trained him to become a plumber.
Well while the Spanish Plod was stood there getting a tan you could have seized the moment and sold him a car.( Export no come backs!)
Shit im hit no 666 hurry up and like someone Evening Lee
Next time she comes and chooses a car say to her "will you buy it if it drives okay?"
Car pitch man on bike,
😂
🤣👍
Why not just put the cars that a ready to go... At your price point bro.. People want to come on the pitch.. And drive away... How comes you do the waiting prep... I get it when it's 5k plus.. But at your great price point... Punters want to come in and drive away mate...
You’ve got another Maserati on your car lot,
You never talk about those cars
The ghibli is my car owned it for the last 5 years its not new bud
@@carukchannel Maseratis are beautiful cars, I’ve had a Gransturismo for 4 years , love it
See it as a challenge to sell her a car. She’s going to buy one from someone it may aswell be you.
I can't help but admire your devotion to duty mate, resisting that huge butty until after your video update. Don't want to come across as having a go at you, but allowing that sarnie to go soggy in the paper is a bit out of order 😢
sorry about that, will learn from it and become a better person 🤣😁👍
You would sell alot more cars if was parked properly on pitch....moved all cars that need work on of the pitch.. and tidy place up as it's a shit hole
Everybody has their own opinion, if we're all the same opinion, life would be very boring. If his display works for him, why fix what's already working.?
Where can I get a battery for £40
Halfords with a trade card, Costco, Tayna batteries etc. Loads of options
Scrapyard too
Tayna batteries is good or ebay, we use GSF group for ours as we get good deals on drivetec and yuasa batteries. Just avoid Euro car parts lion batteries as they are poor
@carukchannel 3 year warranty tho? Can take it back if it dies?
