hi Dico

well ive moaned like hell to my insurance broker and they said they will look into it again with the lawyer so i might still be in luck?

about the stock
i only stand to make 100k once the whole of the UK is covered with my product i'm starting off with 10k and doubling it up until the whole of the uk is covered so i cant let anyone else in on this deal

however
the sales/promotion agency i am using are international
so once we've covered the UK i could then let u in if it is viable for example to cover usa??

also
i can pm you a list of all the main national promotion agencies
they deal usually with blue chip clients, often u will see one of their women doing an instore demonstration in tesco/currys etc etc
they also sell stock into stores both the big chains and also the small retailers...they employ mainly housewifes who are looking for part-time work and have a massive network of them...
so if you think up an idea for a new product or see a new product you can import or get cheap which will sell in the shops...then let me know and i'll forward the sales agency numbers on to you..

my only options are

2. return the car to nottingham which will cost me £500 each way

Dont worry i can easily double my money with some stocks that i am currently shifting... i am turning £5k into £10k on a monthly basis for a few months buying and selling stock and the extra money will help me do it quicker



Hi Richard,

Is it still an option to take the car back to Nottingham and receive £5000?

And on a more serious note ... When people talk about shifting 'stocks' they are usually referring to selling shares in companies… reading your later explanation… are you selling the sort of stocks they used to put people’s heads in and throw tomatoes at?

because it cant be driven


How on earth did you get to that figure?
You could do it for a third of that cost BOTH WAYS.

£35 for a used towbar from ebay
£5 for some extra bolts, because there are bound to be some missing
£60 for a trailer
£70 for fuel because Nottingham is not exactly close to you.

I've just been through that to get EE moved in order to have its head gasket done.

You can then keep the towbar on your other car, or ebay it on again.

That's very prejudice. There are lots of genuine dealers out there.

Take it back to Nottingham on a trailer on a certain March weekend with 70 plus Elans in a convoy and see if you don't get every penny back.
