Hi all,

I thought I'd post this in the Yeti forum initially as it is this part of Briskoda that has given me the most support over the past few years.

As of this Friday I shall no longer be working for Allams, as I'm moving out to Dubai on Monday.

I will still be very active on the forum but under this username rather than Allams-Skoda, I'll still be able to offer advice and am still very happy to help with any queries that you've got and do what I can to keep customers happy even if I'm several thousand miles away.

Indeed as before if people would like me to source a new vehicle for them feel free to get in touch for a quote and I'll do what I can to help. The only difference being I can't physically handover the cars to you, but I'm able to keep you updated and advise you on the choice of engines, options etc and make sure you get the service you expect/deserve.

Thanks to all the Yeti folks who I've met over my time at Allams. Now I'll go and put another thread in the general section just so everyone knows that I'm not actually in the Epsom showroom anymore!

If you're ever in Dubai let me know!

Congratulations, that's quite a move James!

Does that mean Morocco by Yeti is off then?

Many congratulations, James - we wish you every success in your new venture in Dubai :thumbup:

VERY sorry to see you're leaving, just as my brother told me over the weekend that he's going to PX his Alfa 2.5L Sportswagon estate for a Skoda Superb.

I was going to pass on your details to him James.

Is Allans still going to continue to support the site??

and will there be a point of contact who will continue your role once you have settled in Dubai??

Good luck in your new venture James, and keep us updated on your progress. :yes:

All the best, a great move.

May the sun shine on you.

That'll be a long drive home every night then!

Best of luck to you James, what are you going to be doing out there?

Good luck James. Even though I didn't buy a car from you; thanks for all your help and advice. I will see you there soon enough when the F1 race is there.

Good luck, and all the best, James.

James,

Never met or spoken to you, but your reputation precedes you!

Best wishes in your new venture, keep us posted on what you're up to

Very best wishes James, and I'll definately keep my promise and post pics once I get the Bronze monster!

Some people will do anything to get away from the snow!!

All the best

Dave

I thought (hoped) you were joking James when you told me!

As one who has bought one Yeti through you, been fed and watered since the very first days of a (foreign) Yeti in the UK right through to ordering TIBET2 I wish you all the best for the future.

Have fun and many thanks for all your help and advice over the last few years. Sorry I can't get down to Epsom before you go.

Who will be the first to order a Yeti through Skoda Dubai, collect it from James and drive it back to the UK...?

Hi James,

to hear you were leaving Allams; been part of the furniture on the Monster forum since the off really and provided many of us with excellent customer service, help and advice; been a pleasure to do business.

I sincerely hope you have a great Christmas and a happy and prosperous year ahead.

Regards as always,

TP

Hi James.

Thanks you for all your help over the last 18 months since I met you and you helped me build my Yeti, (options anyway)

You have been a great source of all things Yeti and Skoda and been a great help in keeping the service guys sorted.

I wasn't completely surprised by this, having spoken to you and visited Allams on a regular basis over the last year. Whatever you get up to, enjoy & don't get lost in the sand dunes - actually, I can recommend a good car to you for the sand...........you guessed right.......a Yeti . I understand they are supposed to be good in sand.

Mike

Hi James

Sorry to hear you are leaving Allams. Would like to thank you for the advice and support when I bought my Yeti and wish you good luck in the future.

Andy

Bye James - may you achieve everything that you dream of. If you continue as you have started on here, you will, my friend, you will.

Thanks for your contributions to all our lives.

George.

I've only recently joined this forum and not yet had the chance to converse with you, reading this thread I feel there's not much I could add as your input has obviously scored 'Ten Nill'

Keep in touch and good luck in your new venture!!

Good luck James, it's a shame all dealers don't have someone like you.

VERY sorry to see you're leaving, just as my brother told me over the weekend that he's going to PX his Alfa 2.5L Sportswagon estate for a Skoda Superb.

Good luck in your new venture James, and keep us updated on your progress. :yes:

You can give him my email address and I can let him know what I can do, if he wants to pop into Allams he can see Linda. My email address for the moment is [email protected], I'm still planning on 'helping' Allams out on here if you know what I mean, but officially I no longer work for Allams so I can't blatantly advertise where I can supply cars from but to those who've been on the forum for a few years it'll be obvious.

Thanks for your kind wishes everyone!

I'll let you know what I end up doing, I suspect it will still be in the motor trade, but anything could happen, I'd like to get into aviation perhaps, it'll still be in sales though.

Must wish you all the best with your new venture - sounds great. Like I suspect many people here I never met you and never bought a car from you. BUT you gave me direct help and advice when I was buying from someone else and having a few problems. Not many people would do that with such good grace.

Thanks James, I'll pass on the dealership details and Linda as a contact to my brother.

No disrespect, but it's easier to liaise with Allams from his point of view.

You have been, and continue to be, a sourse off inspiration to us all.

Have an AWESOME christmas james, and don't forget the factor 50!!!!!!!

Thanks for your kind wishes everyone!

Nice more............................stop selling cars, and start selling helicopters

Do they have DSG gearboxes too??

All the best James, you have been a great contributor to this site...
