Default Hurst Cars - Are they on here?

Been recommended by everyone on this forum to hurst cars, now seen one i might be interested in.

Emailed, no response.
Text, no response.
Voicemail, no response.

In a rush to get a car sorted and seems like dealers don't want to sell them lately, just never hear anything back.

Do they (adam i'm told) have a username on here where i can try?

Which one of his cars are you interested in? his website is usually a bit out of date with regards what's available, seems to shift his stock pretty quickly.

God knows how, he never replies to anything or gets back to you

I was interested in the blob with the BC coilovers but i really havent got the time nor inclination to be chasing and chasing, i must have tried to contact them 7 or 8 times now and not had anything back so I give up.

PM me your address, i'll get a trophy sent out to you.

Still can't read though. Quite clearly stated i'd tried all those ways to contact him and not heard anything back, and you respond with that....

Intelligence personified. (That's sarcasm, by the way).

Oh and "April 2014" isn't "years" or indeed even a year - it seems your maths is on par with your reading skills.

Was that on mobile? I've tried that a few times and left a few voicemails and not had a message saying about the 17th. I imagine they've added that today then due to being bombarded by desperate scooby shoppers

I think the person who has the profile on here is not actually hurst cars but a kind of gopher who goes around seeking out cars for them.

Usually poses as a private buyer.

Daily for a week now, i dont know who specifically im trying to contact as i dont know them personally, im just using the details of the hurst cars website, as i say sent emails, text messages and left voicemails and heard nothing at all not even an acknowledgement so cant keep chasing just gotta look elsewhere. If they are in Japan and busy that would explain it, just circumstances dictate i havent got time to wait until they're back and free to respond. Shame as i know they have a great name on here.

Absolutely not. Ive gone from an E92 M3 to driving a Hyundai i30 for a few weeks and i'm genuinely ready to kill myself. This situation cannot go on any longer

On a serious note, i just begrudge paying what they charge to drive this tin can, can tell it's a hire car too, 1.4l and it does less MPG than the 4.0 V8 in the M3 did

I need out, quick!
