Has anyone else been approached by someone attempting to flog you a Volvo car? I have just received a PM from a Volvo dealer doing just this. Is it me or is there enough unsolicited e-mail etc. out there already, do we really want it on this forum as well?

Comments appreciated!!

Good, I let him know my feelings as well!! Can we get such people kicked off the forum? I realise that they would just create another user name but at least they may get the message, if they are intelligent enough to read...

Oops - sorry, didn't mean this to go in twice.

No (apart from YBW's internal admin stuff of course, but I didn't figure you meant that), but you can apply a bit of intelligence and cunning, and soon get quite a comprehensive list if you want to be really sad and spend some time at it

Thanks for the letting me know - they'll be receiving a boot up the bum shortly.

I think I specifically requested keel-hauling, but a boot up the bum will suffice.

Thanks Paul. /forums/images/icons/smile.gif

Is the engine painted green?

Apart from the bother of the guy doing what he shouldn't, Whats wrong with a Volvo? I run an old 245 just fill it with oil and petrol. Its a tank! Ideal for me. Can leave it anywhere and knowone will nick it!! Poxy Volvo is just not fair. Over here we call them the Swedish Tractor. When I have to work on it two spaners and a screw driver is all I need. Poxy Volvo indeed!!!!!!!

PS: I have not been contacted by the idiot.

Steve,

I have this morning spoken with a Mr Nick Webb of Squire Furneaux Volvo in Leatherhead to make clear that the terms of conditions of these forums were broken in no uncertain terms by a someone, apparently in the marketing department of that company.

Not a great way to try and sell you a Volvo car on an RYA affiliate deal.

I think I will let the marketing person's email address roam around my commercial department though, seems whoever it is is ripe for a few pitches this week.

Apologies to all who received this PM.

Kim

Apologies to all who received this PM.
