News Updates
May 1st 2008 -
Sold the Hawkeye, the predator 50 and a predator 90 this week.
Jake was struggling to find transport for the delivery of the Hawkeye last Friday, when Tony turned up in his van the morning of delivery, to save the day. A smooth hand over was then ensured. Richard delivered the 50 to its new home the day after his 62 birthday on Thursday, set off at 5am to miss the traffic, think he missed everyone at the time of the day! Another long distance trek up North, so thats The Western Isles of Scotland , Edinburgh and the lake district all served by Derbyshire Quads.
I'm amazed at who find us via the web site, we have over 2000 hits a month now! Thanks to Brian the web guy for his Optimisation skills. The pred 90 was collected from us so that was relatively easy by comparison.
With an enquiry for a Phoenix by a gentleman for his sons birthday on Monday, Jody demoing an 800 to a gentleman at dinner time today, and over 100 people trekking this weekend, it looks like sales for May are off and running!
Genuine Thanks to all our loyal customers for their business,
