Quite happy with my 3.0 thanks!
Why did you test drive it if you weren't going to buy it?
So he could give it a glowing report as he’s a friend of Mikes 🙄

What is your problem? There's been several instances now where you've stuck your oar in a thread where me or Mike has posted with a simmlar jibe, if you've got something to say either say it or just pm me for a chat about it?

Is it not true then Jamie, are you not promoting your mates car?

The Forum is fast becoming the DLV show, with you and your mates taking every opportunity to promote Mike and his services, we are even getting odd newbie accounts like 'gilesimp' opening up just to promote/praise him and I'm not alone in being fed up with it!

I don't know Mike and have nothing against him personally or the services he offers or their value for money. I'm just fed up with the constant stream of how 'Saint DLV' is doing us all a favour yet lets not forget he's earning a lot of money doing it :roll: This car was bought cheap to do up and sell a couple of weeks later so how is that not trading? He's effectively like a business now with the amount he does and it's as though we're getting forced advertising all the time!

Couple of things pastry.

Firstly, I have a full time plus job, as in approx 70hrs a week running my shop.

Secondly, I was originally asked by other members if I could/would look at their cars after posting my experiences of repairing my own roof and modding my own exhaust.

Thirdly, I do said jobs in my spare time, and yes I do charge for doing them as my time to me is valuable. Obviously members are free to avail themselves of my services or not, that's their choice. However if they choose to do so, and then comment on the experience, who am I to stop them? It's no different to other members offering items for sale like wheels, ram air scoops and wiring harnesses. There are other members on here who offer similar services all the time, so not sure why you seem to be singling me out once again for criticism.

Fourthly, "Giles" I think you'll find is a newish member who, after having me to move his roof motor, then came back to me to have his clutch done. I did this for him at a price that not only included all the parts, but was less "all in" that the price of those same parts alone on the Euro website.

Fifth, regarding this car.. Yes, I bought it with faults, that I have repaired, however the original intention was for it to be a present for my Daughter on her 18th in a few months time. However, insurance quotes of circa £9,000 have put paid to that idea, and she will be getting a Ford Ka instead. So that is why this is up for sale.

Jamie was around at mine yesterday, and asked if he could have a drive, and I agreed as wanted to know what he thought..

Oh and for the record, the price that it is advertised at here on the forum is £700 less than it will be when it goes in autotrader, putting it firmly at "pre-facelift" money.

I hope that answers your points.

Mike

But if you actually read my reply to Jamie, it wasn’t Mike I was complaining about :roll:

Fair enough Mike, I’ve said my bit and you’ve said yours and I’m not the slightest bit interested in what pinky and perky have to say :)

Wow, you must have too much time on your hands to sit there and get upset about Mike and his services, do you not have much else going on in your life or something?

pastry really what is your malfunction totally uncalled for maybe its you that could do with saint DLV"s help maybe he could fix your wiring cant see where this has come from also implying that mike has made up members to promote his work is not only slander its comical if members new or old wish to comment on a forum then that is there right if you really think there are wrongs going on take it up with the moderators etc. but to be honest really think you need to grow up all the best pinky :rofl: ps thanks for the work today mike you really are a saint :owned:

Why did you test drive it if you weren't going to buy it?
I'm Mike's friend so wanted to drive it out of curiosity
A fair answer.

Sorry to have allowed an opening for some forum trolling.

The car looks pukka.

OK I can see what you are getting at, but is that so different to "mrwilks" having moved on to Z4 number 10 - I'm sure he doesn't do it solely for the benefit of the planet either! :roll:

But AFAIK this car is the first that dlv has tidied up and offered for sale, and it looks like a good buy for someone - that isn't exactly trading is it? :headbang:

Anyway he replaced my rear brake pipes in copper for a very good price in September, and cut and coded a flip key for £80 - thanks Mike! :thumbsup:

My thoughts exactly Mr T.

Seems its a case of 'my mates are ok - but yours are not' however I've been advised by someone with a lot more diplomacy on the matter and shan't be posting my comments anymore - sure Mike can sell himself without any help from Pinky & Perky :thumbsup:

Thanks for dragging me into it Mr tidy when I would rather not be !
To add clarity to my own history the Zs ive bought are actually used & driven as my main weekend car & predominantly i choose not to advertise on forum to avoid issues like this thread is throwing up .
Perhaps Mike would have been wise to have not bothered with his detailed post on the purchase + repair of the listed car ? ? Simply offering it for sale with no need to explain why or where from could then have avoided a lot of the handbag slinging on this thread .
As a idle spectator who has no connection to DLV It's hard not to draw direct similarity with our friend Goldbcfc,s recent car purchase + sale antics .

I have no need to defend Andy, and to be frank it is quite a ridiculous comparison. He rarely advertises a car on here! :roll:

As I said in my main post. I have no problem with Mike and the service he offers, my beef is with the constant over promotion by Kev and Jamie (aka pinky and perky 😉) and how it is done!

I’m quit happy to let this go as well Jamie, as I said earlier, I’ve said my piece :thumbsup:
