Annual Service

[anchorman]

Hey now come out of that bunker I want to talk to you. It's time to play football in "no mans land"

Mr Lindop seems nice but I cant imagine he nor Robin Reginald Gibb (or whatever RRG stands for) are exactly on the breadline. The cheese is distinctly chalky.

I was looking for Private Kingo but can't find him anywhere on that nice website.

Now while we have got a genuine Toyota squaddie, can you set up a black market on parts and accessories at trade price or not? ;)

And what caused my alarm to cause me so much stress and anxiety the other night at 3am? I bet I hold the world record for reciting the maximum number of 4 letter words while trying to get my leg through through the neck of my tee shirt and my head through the leg of my jeans while running downstairs at the same time

Kingo pops his head above the parapet

Private Kingo is on there, in fact he runs the ruddy website! Mr TOC is just waiting for our cheque to feather his nest, and we will then be able to do business, until then, ssshhhhhhhh, "Wat is your name.........Don't tell him Pike"

Kingo

Nice one! We wait with interest.

Adding my (Dave.M) 2 p's worth on profits if I may......

Just a few quotes (interesting bits highlighted!!) from a bit of financial literature (Reuters) I dug up for Toyota (Japan) end of year profits 2006 and forecast into 2007.

"Toyota the world's most profitable car maker, booked a 53 percent rise in quarterly operating profit on Wednesday on healthy sales, cost cuts and a weaker yen, and predicted more growth this year despite currency headwinds and a spike in capital outlays."

"Toyota, whose market capitalization of $217 billion (£108 billion) values it higher than the South African economy, has cranked up profits to record levels even as it faced soaring raw materials prices and cut-throat competition and spent more on facilities and vehicle development."

"Toyota, which last month outsold DaimlerChrysler in the United States, said it expects to drive up global sales by another 6.0 percent to 8.45 million vehicles this business year, counting trucks and cars built by units Hino Motors Ltd. and Daihatsu Motor Co."

"For 2006/07, Toyota forecast record revenues of 22.30 trillion yen (£93 billion), up 6.0 percent."

What were we saying about profits in the motor industry again???

I'm personally happy that Mr T is making a lot of money.This is an indicator that in a very competetive,cut throat, market Mr T is giving the customer the cars and services they want.You can fool some of the paying public some of the time....

O.K.They get things wrong from time to time,who can forget the problems with T180's shipping water on these pages? By and large they do try hard to give the customer what he wants. :

Now I think you are getting carried away a bit, As the famous Michael Winner once said "calm down dear"Toyota are one of the most cash rich companies in the world and could buy out most wordwide car MAKERS, not SERVICERS, however, Toyota do NOT own the dealer network, you are comparing chalk and cheese, if we had that cash, this thread about "will the dealer collect my car" would not have even started, we would be offering buy one get one free cars for you to use at will.......pah!

PS. For a bit of fun, look at what Toyota do in the word here You need to scroll down the homepage till you see the link. With a bit of luck that will take you all the night to read, and I can take shelter in me bunker till morning!

Kingo, sorry for being so indescriminate!!!!

It's called Carpet Bombing!!!

This is Squadron Leader S.P. returning to base, bomb bay empty!!
