Once again we have our 'Meet the Team' feature with the forth member on the chair Mrs Michelle Lammas, Administration Manager at Sinclair Finance & Leasing. We asked Michelle the same 10 questions as previously asked and here is what she said:
1. What is your favourite type of TV programme?
"Soaps, Soaps and more Soaps" (lol - I have to admit I love them too!)
2. What hobbies do you have?
"I pretend to like exercise, although I haven't got a lot of free time these days as I have two little girls who keep me very occupied" (Oh bet they are worth every minute of your time though)
3. What was the first car you had?
"Escort MK2 1300 Sport - It was bright green but I loved it" (Wow that's everyone in the chair so far having an escort as their first car)
From just browsing though YouTube, I found this cool version of a future Volkswagen Camper Van concept - could this be the next generation? - Is this the way Volkswagen is heading?
Amazing if it is, do you think you would want one?
In enhancement to the S trim, the new R Line Passat offers over £2400 worth of styling and features for only a mear £600 extra.
This new trim level which has been added to the popular Volkswagen passat range will be available in both Saloon and Estate versions. It definitely looks the part with sports-style bodykit and matching chrome louvres and grille, not to mention the 17-inch five-spoke Monte Carlo alloy wheels, which were previously fitted to the Sport version.
It seems that leased vehicles are leading the way for greener motoring - with average CO2 emissions of 149.9g/km on leased vehicles last year compared to 158.4g/km on company cars that were sold.
Thats a massive 8.5g/km difference - proving that by leasing vehicles through leasing companies such as sinclair finance & leasing, you are striving more towards a greener environment and more fuel efficient motoring.
Yes the time has now come for Sinclair Direct to move from their temporary second site at Newport.
With the recent Sinclair takeover of Volkswagen Cardiff and Newport, Corporation Road proves the perfect site for a New Volkswagen Dealership - with ample show room and office space, the site once branded to Volkswagen taste will prove much suited to a main dealer.
So we say farewell to Sinclair Direct Newport...but welcome Sinclair Volkswagen to Corporation Road, Newport.
The move is due to take effect from the 15th June 2009 - so please keep posted!
For more information on Sinclair Direct or Sinclair Volkswagen search www.sinclairgroup.co.uk
