S14DGG Posted December 10, 2011 Report Share Posted December 10, 2011 Good luck fella, the motor trade is very tough at the minute, sales, service, parts and bodyshop. But because of this a lot of people are jumping ship so there should be something out there for you.Im guessing Scoobyworld made you redundant too?
