Top bloke - is about to cause a domestic !

Went in for the second time today to get more parts for the veccy, thats me got 20litres of semi, 20 litres of red coolant, oil cooler, radiator in the last week - seemed to recognse me instantly ( think it was the red suit and white beard that did it...anyway)

Got talking away and he is gonna slip an extra discount here and there on non tc parts  

He will also do an Irmscher twin back box discounted for me £320 inc vat which is a hell of a price i think. Problem is theres only one left  

Now wheres that wife of mine - need to tell her, i mean ask her permission to buy it.

So what i do now....just to annoy him.....usually they havent got stock of either TC parts or non TC parts.....but they have another vx garage about 5 miles away.....the other garage always seems to have stock of most stuff....and i used to drive over there to get the parts.....now i get em to check the stock of the other garage....and when he says yes they have it in stock.....i say ok heres the dosh for the stuff.....get em to send it over and i'll be back in later to pick it up.... At least he has to do some work

This might be a daft question, but how do you go about getting a TC card...I plan on keeping my Omega for years to come so one would save me a few quid in the years to come!!

Blag one by pretending to be in the trade. Free. Tradeclub website access, and a printed pricelist

Join a club that is a member of VBOA (around £15 - £25 per year, no website or printed price list)

Umm yes but im think im barred from that one   Thats the one 5 miles away!

My Parts Manager is brilliant and is always very helpful (he is a friend of one of my best mates though). He even looks embarrased when he tells me the prices (even with discount). He once told me to go to another supplier cos they would do it cheaper.

That is what I call service!

The Service manager on the other hand, seems to make all my jobs last longer than they should just to squeeze me for a few extra pounds
