I did, Andy.

Gutted for the Welsh guy for not making a sale but based on the viewing only he didn't put in enough effort imo.

Other guy seemed really really boredselling C2's and 107's  ;D

True ,but that was the deal he signed up for...on the flip side he could of made 5-10% commission on a 500k sale so it works both ways when you are dealing with larger ticket items

Same could be said for the bloke looking to buy as an investment. Surely it's up to you ... not the salesman .... to know what prices were last year & what they might be next. It'd be like criticising the booky when your horse din't come in 1st  :-\

Just watched it and, I must say, I thought both of the salesmen were lovely guys. I was expecting competition and friction but none of that. I know I should be talking about the cars but I thought the work/life balance aspect of the situation was equally important.
Good programme. :y

I watched it and thought it was good.....but I cant believe that the guy in charge of all those posh cars allowed the nice welsh guy to loose those sales...I bet it was all done for t.v. and they were done deals before they threw the salesman in at the deep end    :y :y

Does this mean  you're sharing your marital bed  with a 23 year old call girl whilst your good lady is away?

Just asking. :D
