Cowdensmelly? Good god no! Glenrothes based and we always swig our buckfast from a paper cup on the street corners rather than from the bottle as our country cousins along the road do :shock: :P

Buckles Metrocab? im sure it still runs, iv seen it about but no nothing about the company or car

aye, a concrete jungle thats getting bigger by the day, also must be roundabout capital of Scotland . I also wonder which street Fife Council wil have buried in speed bumps today :evil: :cry:
To get back to the original point, surely someone can tell me of there dealings with Fowlers from Stoke? Or is it just Glenrothes taxi drivers they give the runaround too :?:

You got another PM Tracy :lol: (you may get more best empty your in box!)

Only had the one problems with Fowlers - and that was buying a car from them! New Octavia failed its MOT on the day it was delivered :oops: took over a year for them to take the blasted thing away again; Ian Knapper I am sure does not exist 'cos he refuses to answer e-mail, phone, letters etc.

BEWARE - FOWLERS ARE ADVERTISING IN PHM UNDER A DIFFERENT NAME WITH A DIFFERENT PHONE NUMBER!!!!

Cemetry Road is a great address for them - just when do they get buried? They give the Motor Industry a bad name and I haven't managed to find any of their staff who are a Member of the Institute of the Motor Industry which is really unusual; but then again they have standards.

I will never stray further than my local dealer again.

So now they are advertising "guaranteed finance" on Eurobus :lol: erm its January how do they expect people to meet the repayments at the twenty something percent that they charge (or should there have been a one hundred in front of that :roll: ) This kind of deal is only going to encourage people who can't really afford a new vehicle / probably driving on 50's to buy a new car and then work 20 hours a day to try and pay for it until they have an accident!

Grrrrrr! In case you hadn't noticed I hate these guys with a vengence and sadly although I did ask, what is now 2 years ago, for them to take me to Court I'm still waiting :mrgreen: I still take the no replies as reading "yes we are in the wrong" Again you'll get a better service from your local dealer and don't be tempted by the stupid finance offers for those with Credit Problems - if you can't get a bank loan then Lee Knappers crap talk about re-building your credit history is wasted. Work 50's / rent prove to your bank that you can make repayments and get credit that way
