Hi irfan, obviously as you know by facebook you sold me mine, and now it has moved on itself!

There are 3 regulars on here that I think bought their cupras from you/m1 autos
 
yeah seen that loving the new TT mate will have to come see you in action one weekend :)
 
Hey Irfan
Mine's still out there. She's probably spread over several other cars by now or touring Eastern europe or Cyprus.

Without being 100% sure of course, I believe that your stolen car did not end up here. Obviously Cyprus would be a "candidate", being a country where cars are RHD. Not long ago however, several incidents of cars stolen in the UK and sold to unsuspected buyers in Cyprus occured. I think it was discovered by accident but still... Ever since, there is direct exchange of information between the DVLA and the Cyprus Dept of Transport, as well as the local police. Every car stolen in the UK is reported here. Unless the VIN has been tampered with, which is not that easy any more and can easily be spotted, there is no way a UK stolen car be sold and registered here. In fact, if your car was sent here you would probably have got it back.

I should perhaps add that it may have ended in the turkish occupied part of the island, an illegal regime not recognised by any country other than Turkey and where no laws actually apply... Every fugitive in the world found refuge there as no extradition laws can be enforced... If it was sent there, then yes someone is enjoying it.

Doubt anyone tried to legitimise it. In fact it's probably in the country still with swapped out plates, ho hum.
Apologies for the flippant comment

No need to apologise. Your car ending up here one way or another is quite possible, hence none should be offended by your comment.

Irfan,
I think I may hold the record for the customer who travelled the furthest to take advantage of your good deals! I travelled 600 miles down to M1 Autos from Isle of Lewis to pick up my 57 plate FR TDi. Still driving it today, 60k miles later.

Yep record is all yours :)
 
Not many salesmen offer a taxi service from the Airport.

What are you up to these days mate?

I do research into cars now working from home, have done for coming up to 3 years now.

I still remember picking you up from the airport, and not to blow my own trumpet but i still think i gave the greatest customer service on here :)

Feel free to blow that trumpet of yours. I was most impressed by the service i received and nobody could match your price at the time. Was well worth the cost of a £30 Easyjet ticket and a day of travelling!
