[Hades]

Alright, which staff members currently own a 'stang?

Tbh wouldn’t be that unwise... it’s not dissimilar to computer crafting. Can even keep the name as it’s still relevant.

 

[CREATIVE!11]

Probably Gibbo, isn't that geezer loaded?

I didn’t know ocuk employees were allowed to use the store to get rid of their second hand tat.

Is it a problem?

That'll be Gibbo probably

Is it a problem?

Not unless the light somehow becomes faulty, blinds an oncoming driver, who crashes into a nearby child, rendering OcUK liable for a massive payout

BRB, just asking customer service if they can do me a deal on an oil filter and 6 litres of oil for my Corrado.

Are Eurocarparts now considered a competitor?

Hi there

It was indeed me, and as a member of the Mustang community and many member wanting those lights but not wanting to pay the £300-£400 they were at time listed as on Ebay and other sites, I approached the manufacturer in Asia, then used my buying power and took 100 units for a highly discounted price which meant I was able to offer them to Mustang community at half the price of anywhere else selling them and still make OcUK a very solid 25% margin, which we jumped at because that is way beyond our regular margins. So it was a move to help a community, make some good margin and at the same time get free advertising for OcUK within car clubs, because the short is most performance car owners are also into computers and those who own/run Mustang's have a lot of spare cash for fuel and car mods, hence the reasoning behind it.
