Would have loved to have overheard that conversation!

I presume you weren't parked in the customer parking area? But regardless I would have driven straight away if I was told to park further away. Unbelievable arrogance!
Customer parking area!!!
What Customer Parking Area?
Recently I have been to:-
Audi - no customer parking available, it is all filled with Audi’s.
Mercedes - no customer parking available, it is all filled with Mercs
BMW - no customer parking available, it is all filled with Beamers
Alfa Romero - no customer parking available, it is all filled with Fiat 500s
Volvo - no customer parking available, it is all filled with R8’s
Jaguar - plenty of customer parking but it is a long walk past all the RRs and Discoes to get there (it is a new very large showroom with a huge parking lot)
At the Audi and Merc dealers they are in a Motor City development and everywhere is full to overflowing with mundane cars of every make.

I recently visited the new JLR dealership in Bolton to get the low down on an E-Pace for my father. Parked up in my Macan right in front of the dealership and at no given time was i approached by a salesman, even when i decided to clamber all over an I-Pace they had in their showroom. I mustn't have looked serious enough for them, given i had just come from football training and wasn't in the "correct" attire. Oh well, thought the whole range was a bit sub-standard anyway
Towcester OPC usually has empty visitor spaces to the left of the showroom, but often people just park up straight outside the entrance. Last time I parked up outside with my Tesla in the summer they actually showed a lot of interest in it and it sparked off a friendly conversation about their upcoming EVs and charging facilities. I need to go back soon to discuss whether or not I can actually buy a Taycan next year and for the sort of price they have been touting i.e. £60-70k. I'm still doubtful of their availability without a very long wait.Col Lamb wrote: ↑Tue Sep 25, 2018 10:17 amCustomer parking area!!!

I visited the Belfast Ferrari dealership in the Macan a few months ago and was welcomed with open arms. No shortage of adjacent parking spaces that were the biggest I've ever encountered, about twice the width of a typical Tesco space. Even though they saw I was driving a Porsche I was given a long test drive in their 488 demo.

I imagine a typical Ferrari buyer is "trading up" from a Porsche or maybe an Aston or R8 or similar so you would have been treated seriously. My experience is generally the more expensive the manufacturer the scruffier the clientele as they don't have anything to prove!Rab J wrote: ↑Tue Sep 25, 2018 1:59 pm I visited the Belfast Ferrari dealership in the Macan a few months ago and was welcomed with open arms.
