Plus a lot of foreign professionals from the UK's first stop when they got here was a VW dealer as we have a really good foreign professional lease plan that makes it very easy for them to get a car they are very familiar with already, as VW's are there, what Toyota's and Honda's are here. A lot of those customers already had established credit with VW in the UK.

Totally OT. But I learned very quickly in the car business that with with Japanese people, you never take a deposit. Business is always done on a handshake. In all the years I have been doing this, I have never once had a Japanese customer back out after a handshake deal. It is more valuable than cash. Extremely honest on honorable people, my favorite customers to deal with by a mile.

I was just kidding, I wouldn't want to be in that situation either.

It's pretty crazy driving over in Poland but people are a lot more aware of everything and a lot calmer there when they're driving if you ask me.

People pass with oncoming traffic and the oncoming traffic and the person being passed all move over and it works. No fuss, no yelling or flippin' the bird. I mean if you think about it, as long as everyone sees everyone, passing with on coming traffic isn't that insane, yet here even if you are on a completely straight road with miles of visibility and you cut it even remotely close you're guaranteed to piss everyone off. I never understood it. If you didn't have to actually do anything then you were never in risk of being in an accident. Calm your ####.
