It's gone :-(

Did you get him to sign that album? Huh?

Lol.

This was a different guy - he'd seen it on ebay.

Funny, innit - I had massive problems shifting my Passat, which you'd assume would be easy to shift, but a Marea, the least loved car of the Bravo/Brava/Marea triplets, sold in 24 hours!

Job jobbed.

That's my credit card cleared and a new PDA, then.

Not half as long as the 2-3 month waiting list for a new Passat oil burner.

In the meantime, I'm going to enjoy the sunshine in the 75 :-)

I always find this strange. Doesn't the car industry produce more cars than it can sell - apart from a few exceptions and limited production runs? Isn't there huge car parks somewhere with cars piled up unsold? If so, why is there a waiting list? Is it so they can smooth out their sales figures over the year?

There are these big car parks but they tend to hold the unpopular models.

Because the popular models are fabricated to spec. When you order a car, a file is filled in and sent to the production plant. So the car they build is already sold. Car makers like that.

What they don't like is a car that doesn't sell. They will produced a certain number of it (because the production speed is fixed) but thise cars are not yett sold.

At production of 1000 cars per day a very big carpark is quickly needed.

Nope.
