    What's with everyone taking pot shots at Sales @ Mentone ?

    Is there something I'm not aware of ?

    This is at least the second time he's been shot at from the hip this week, let's show a bit of respect to him, just as we all would hope to treated.

    If nothing else it provides an insight to the other side of the counter. Who knows if his hide is thick enough he may hang around, learn some consumer thoughts from us and fix a few things. Alternately if he keeps on getting flamed he may just figger we are all whingers and screw us over instead just for ****s and giggles.

    My car with a tune? You must be mistaken. It's dead stock

    No potshots at Sales@Mentone. He asked a fair question.

    We were having a slight go at MrPayne, who sells VW and mistakenly thought a 118kw VW = 118kw Skoda.

    Anywho - Mr Payne & Mentone are both most welcome IMO. Apologies if I caused any offence.

    I think I kind of set myself up for a fall there lol.

    Also, we are car salesman, we do have thick skin, and it takes a fair bit to cause offence.
    Cheers,
    Mark.

    Sales @ Mentone Skoda Guest

    Thanks everyone

    Hi Guys,

    Thanks for the info, admittedly i was under the impression that the 7 speed was limited in its capacity and that the 300nm figures would be unimaginable so its good to heear that Octy customers have some options in mods.

    Thanks two dogs for your comments, i do understand thouigh that its can be a little hard for some forum loyalists to accept salesman given the fact that they can almost always run rings around us with the knowledge base, and in my case they could easily do so.

    As i have sai in the past this is a learning curve for me and my motives for posting are entirely selfish, i want to learn as much from these guys as i can. In return i am happy to take any well deserved slap in the face just as long as it doesn't get personal.

    According to some Skoda Importers/distributors, the answer to the first part of the question is: "Quite a lot"
