hahahaha, well hello everyone.

I thought I would log in and reply and say "hi".

I wondered how long that would take

Hi Ling

Everybody else: whatever you might think of the site, one thing Ling is totally on top of is noticing when she and her site are being discussed, and chipping in. I've lost count of the number of places I've seen her pop up.

And that, my friends, is how you do online marketing, no matter what the graphic designers tell you

[fullyautomatix]

She sounds like a complete nut case. But looks like a niche business model that she has managed to achieve.

[LINGsCARS]

Reminds me of lyrics from "We are the league" (Anti-nowhere league)

You criticise us, you say we're s**t
But we're up here and we're doing it
So don't you criticise the things we do
No f****r pays to go and see you

Ha!!! I have been to see the Anti-Nowhere League and even have them up on my You Tube channel http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EeE-cAmcUrs

Damn you!

Enjoy Christine. She explains:

I think the design achieves exactly what the owner is aiming for.

WHS. I know this egotistical maniac and whilst shes great value for fun, shes a total overboard nutter.

I'm sure she was driving around newcastle in a bloody rocket launcher the other month.

I've just seen Lings posted here - Hi !! What's next year an aircraft carrier down the Tyne??

Amazing how many people seem offended, but so often they miss the point. Some people here see it.

It doesn't matter what reaction you have, as long as you have a reaction. What is the point of creating a business where you need to pay relentlessly to advertise to attract customers (I don't ever pay to advertise)? Yet I have over 104,000 unique visitors this month already. Now... some will have cars, some won't... so what. If there weren't people who disliked my site, there would be no one who liked it. It's pointless to try and attract everyone, you just end up mediocre.

Current Gross Profit indications are that it will be well over £500,000 this year, so I am happy with growth. What recession?

I wait for people to argue that if I had a more "normal" website I would do even better - that is NOT the findings of my competitors who are NOT posting record growth figures, I can assure you.

If the point is "do you like this", then I understand the negative reactions. If the point is "is this a good way to promote your business" then to say "NO" is plainly stupid, as my website works really well. People like a bit of entertainment. Wear sunglasses And earplugs. hahaha

Bad news I'm afraid, they're all MarillionFan's sockies.

That's it, if you can't make them smile make them groan or puke.

JP Galtier etc know it.

I fondly remember Mr Jerome my last year of primary school teacher(what is now called year 6). He said that some years before he had met an advertising exec at a party. He asked him for his ads - the exec revealed one that Mr Jerome found really annoying and Mr Jerome told him so. "Good" said the exec "We want it to be memorable".

I would like to think that Mr Jerome punched him - but as it was the sixties I doubt it. More is the pity.

I thought that with one of the annoying Window Sales company which was radio only but is now on the TV (the guy's face is as offensive as his voice), but their price was the cheapest and I found it due to the advert.

They could be selling the cars for £1 but I still wouldn't give them my cash.

<- Them (not you SM)

[SimonMac]

True but it can have adverse effects. There's a local car dealer that I will never use on principle because I find their radio ads annoy the fck out of me so much that I change channel rather than listening to them. Yes I know their brand name but they will _never_ get any of my cash in case they spend it on another ad.

Trade Centre Wales. Cnuts!
