Not Mean, Not Nasty, have you forgotten a previous conversation, Im a nice bloke cause I live on the woods side. :hihi: LOL

fiery · 01-11-2005, 08:05 PM

pfft

woods smoods

: everybody knows a forest is far more superior to a woods area

:

but I better be nice to you so when YOU organise this fab store I will have the managers job :hihi: :evil_laug

You know you will have to seriously think about it now.. so that people will be served promptly and walk away with what they actually want..

The more you keep pushing me on the subject of a store, the more sense it starts to make, so cut it out. Cash flow HIGH, Brain matter LOW.

_ Why are you so intent on being the post police?? we have our lovely mods for that purpose

Do you like raining on peoples parades – I am genuinely curious?

used: But in keeping with your RULES if you want to continue this conversation we will have to find a chat room or do it via PM… :voldar02:

I can feel a padlock coming on...

I would look damn hot in a police uniform - let me tell you

: But this is not the place for that sort of chatter either.

Stop trying to draw me into one on one conversation - this is not a chat room after all :P

Cheers, Tori

Where is a padlock when you need it...

You tell em' pirteckgirl, if you other clowns dont like the banter, theres 4000 other forums you can look at. Why not try the holden forums, there's certainly plenty of boring D#cks on there that have nothing to be cheerful about.

vegabass · 01-11-2005, 09:25 PM

Hey Phoon Ill invest some $$

let me find my ash tray.............$3.45 and a spare key to my SES locker..
accept my deal and you have one talented shareholder!!!

phoon · 01-11-2005, 09:36 PM

dont go off the topic now vega, but I'll accept the $3.45 to buy some duct tape. I have some people that need there mouths taped up cause they are dribbling.

fiery · 01-11-2005, 09:37 PM

Ok in all seriousness though, wouldnt it be a good idea to have somewhere you could go and actually be served promptly?

Wouldnt it be great to walk into a auto shop and find that they supply all those lovely little bits and pieces that are strange, unusual (and you know you want them) and a decent price, as well as all the usual stuff?

Wouldnt it be fantastic to be able to ask advice from a staff member and actually get a helpful answer or be directed to someone that can help?

Sheesh, I know I would prefer all of the above. So tired of having to deal with people that are simply working in a place because they have to, not because they want to.........

Does all that make sense or not?????

:

phoon · 01-11-2005, 09:41 PM

You are dead right Fiery, like the others here have said, I hate going to Supercheap, untrained staff, employees that couldnt care less about the customers needs and an underwhelming feeling of enthusiasm.

In all seriousness...

It wouldn't be great...

It would be FANTASTIC!

If anyone did the necessary research and came up with a good business plan, as well as being able to source finance, it MIGHT be viable. But there are already some stores like that around, it's just a matter of finding them. However, having said that, if a startup was able to start a chain of stores, and get a reputation for having good, knowledgeable staff, it MIGHT work...

Penelope Pitstop · 01-11-2005, 09:54 PM

Ok so it’s pretty much agreed that this is a good idea. So Phoon what are you waiting for?

I think that Kerri would make a fabulous manager and the whole concept makes extraordinarily good sense to me especially the bit about having it staffed by car loving women. Let’s face it everybody enjoys shopping where there is a pleasant view.

It’s also no secret that women have a fabulous gift of encouraging men to spend money. So another reason to staff it with a lot of women and also another reason to listen to the women who tell you that you are genius for having this idea.

Cheers, Tori

phoon · 01-11-2005, 09:55 PM

Very true maddest, but you need to have the desire to do it which is something I dont have, I like the industry Im already in too much to change.

It would certainly have my business. Imagine a place that is well stocked, no matter what you drive and only employs people that love cars. Love the idea, sure I could find some money to invest (maybe not a lot but some)

Penelope Pitstop · 01-11-2005, 10:02 PM

Ssshhh Guys - Don't speak to loudly... Falcon Coupe may still be hanging around and you know how he feels about dribble....

If I was good enough at business planning and market research, and was sure I could get the required investment money to get it off the ground and be able to keep the business going until it starts to make a profit (I know enough to know it often takes a minimum of at least 6 months before any real profit is made when you take into account startup costs), I'd get started on it myself...

Thats half the problem.... I have a stack of ideas of how it would look, what would be the most important on hand products, what would be organised to have delivered next day for ordered products (if that makes sense).. and blah blah...
and when I read this thread the first time, the little light bulb went crazy...
BUT
sadly, cash flow zero...... have not any clue on what would be needed to find a backer...

The maddestman... the problem in this area is you have Supercheap, Autobarn, Repco and diddly squat else really (Im talking price wise too).... so a little (well not so little) store would do great business, which then can lead to awesome stores in every state........

Me too, not only would I be happy to work there, I'd be happy to shop there as well, even if I didn't get staff discount, just to do my bit to ensure the business stayed in business and didn't go bankrupt.

Penelope Pitstop · 01-11-2005, 10:08 PM

Um - heres an idea - if we all sold our cars we could afford to do this
