Me, subtle? Never!

[M21MFS]

Just sent this to the former owner of the Vec, the guy who still hasn't bothered to apply for/send me the V5 yet. Does this seem subtle enough then?

Hi Dean,

I hope you don’t mind me emailing, but since you haven’t bothered to reply to a text in a couple of weeks, and I have a car I can no longer drive, I thought I might be best dropping you an email to work out where I stand.

As per the last couple of texts, the situation is now completely unacceptable. I can appreciate delays can happen, but that’s now 7 weeks I’ve had the car and I still have no V5 and thus no means to drive the car. I’ve more or less had to give up part time work for just now, and due to public transport (or lack of it up here) I’m having to cut my main working hours to. I’m now at the point I’m losing money by the week and I’m hoping you can maybe get in contact and confirm when you applied for the replacement logbook, as just now I don’t believe you have. Maybe you can confirm otherwise?

My phones on, if you want to give me a call or something.

Sounds perfectly reasonable to me mate, just hope it has an affect on him and you finally make some progress with it.

It sounds ok to me.

Did you write another email? y'know, the cathartic one you don't dare send

And can we see it?

Does stuarty knows him? As he did say he is a respectable owner on the vec forum ? why not try and go onto the vec forum ?

ive tried to contact him as well, but im just getting the same replies as Martyn unfortunatly. He hasnt been on the vectra forum for a couple of months either.

Dingied, I'm guessing he's just put his head in the sand and hopes the problem'll just go away :thinking:

 

[Stuart]

yeah, i think thats whats going on tbh

I sent a text to him on Thursday that was possibly slightly harsher than my email. The thing is, and you'll know this living in Ellon, public transport here is a joke. Trying to get ANYWHERE is a nightmare.

Ming - it's been on VVOC - and in fact today he was named and shamed. Trobule is, the guys clearly a tool and doesn't give. I'd imagine he's got word of all this, but it obviously hasn't changed a thing!

 

[mrcinquecento]

too reasonable,

the fact the forums swear filter hasn't been utilised tells me this.

he needs a rolicking.

 

[M21MFS]

You're not wrong mate...but good things come to those who wait!

 

[mrcinquecento]

havent you waited long enough as is?

threaten to break his legs with a frozen chicken.

 

[M21MFS]

Indeed I have. There's nothing left to do other than wait, he's clearly not going to bother sending the form. I've done it, but it's going to take a while now!

In the meantime, the questions will continue!

Yeah, I find it's easier to take a day off work if I have no car rather than get public transport.

Don't parking tickets and speeding fines get sent to the last registered keeper? Not that I'm suggesting anything of course :angel: :wink:

lol, its nothing that hasnt been suggested already

 

[M21MFS]

Just heard back tonight...my texts/emails are finally causing the desired effect.

Apparently he's been in Austria and will speak to the DVLA tomorrow! Not convinced at all, but we'll see!

 

[mrcinquecento]

well, let's see what happens......at least some sort of line of communication has opened up

 

[M21MFS]

Yep. I haven't responded yet, I think in the interim it's probably best I don't. I've done all I can, I'll see what he says next. It perhaps doesn't bode well that he opened his text with 'Hi Martian' though...

lmao!!!!!

 

[Andi9386]
