Native to Where?
Times when I wait around for my next lift or test drive are times I generally leave open for contemplation on the bigger things in life. Like why the word romantico sounds so much better than the english equivalent, or why we have no choice over what our obscene taxes pay and can do little other than work for wars none of us want. Furthermore are we even native to this country? The western world seems not to care about who’s name is written next to “native” for each terrain – our money greedy governments strive for world peace through questionable means but who are we to do such things? I am unsure even myself the answers to these questions. And now have to go and drive another car…

What do you think of the Jeep?
Jeeps usually last a long time in my family – One jeep model was passed between a record 5 different family members before it finally gave up the ghost and died on us. It seems we have always had jeep cars since the end of ww2, my grandad said he just brought one after being used to driving them around in the war and then they stuck. He has a ton of jeep manuals which he has used to fix every one of these jeeps himself – even when my aunt crashed one into a tree he managed to fix it although it did fail on carbon monoxide tests.

All about locality
When it comes to used cars and secondhand cars I see myself as something of a guru. I have brought and sold so many hundreds of secondhand cars over the last 20 years or so – I know a lot about engines, a fair bit about the motor trade and can fairly easily acquire some awesome motors. But what the big secondhand car companies don’t seem to realise is that its all about locality – they don’t realise that although 40% of car buyers may travel 20 miles to buy a car – 60% don’t want to go outside their local neighbourhood for it. For example buying a used car in pembs – used cars pembs results in millions of cars not in pembrokeshire at all – why is this the case? surely finely targetting the 60% is more appropriate?

comical shirts
They have been making funny t shirts for longer than I can remember at the local tshirt shop – everytime I would walk in to see my mate davis they would always have some crazily hilarious picture on the front desk, printed onto a plain white tshirt. There has rarely been a time when I havent gone into that shop and sat there laughing at the hilarious lol cars and other lol cats etc shirts they have – I have brought a few over the years too including one of this fat dude with a mcdonalds and one of the funniest yet rudest comments I have ever seen written or printed anywhere!
