Foxtons have changed their MINI Graphics again

I ain't got a picture

First it was yellow/white/green Union Flags with the car number on a white disc on doors

then Yellow flames from the bonnet with yellow car numbers on doors

Now its the word 'Foxtons' in red/orange/white along the side in graffiti style - just like you see at your local train station with the car number sprayed higgledy piggledy on a rough stencil, like you get on a packing crate,

Anyone with a photo?

Yeah, I meant to mention the new FOXTONS MASSIV STYLEE as I've moved house to Foxtons Central (London W4) and they're all over the bloody place!

And they've put perforated white adverts all over the back window, did you see that too?

Saw the window

Each morning I drive down a road in Barons Court where four Foxtons MINIS are parked overnight ( this must be estate agent central ) someone else in the road has bought a new MINI ...in BRG/BRG

I guess they didn't want to stand out from their neighbors but if it was me I would have got any colour but.

Saw one of them last week (thursday I think!!). The perforated window looks really good, but the drivers never wave

Does anyone else here have an unhealthy dislike of estate agents? From my dealings with them, I'm not keen on 'em at all.

Saw one yesterday-kinda graffitti writing on the side now-looked good.
This company has far too much money, and looking at the prices of their houses I know why
The drivers don't wave 'cos they are doing a serious estate agent type job and are probably wondering why their company cars are not 'proper' BM's or Mercs!

I saw one this morning... I'm not overly impressed
Too right about too much money.... don't get me started on estate agents

I actually read an article in a fleet magazine about Foxtons and they see it as a good incentive for their salepeople to drive around in numbered MINIs. Those who reach certain "targets" apparently get regular (non-graffittied) BMWs

MINI, RX8 and MX5 - Done those............. It's now TTime

that sounds like a flawed incentive plan, given the choice of a mini or a bmw I know which i'd rather have !!!!...

It sounds like a bonus scheme I heard of where sales staff who got to 90% of the target got a meal out, 95% got an adventure weekend, and 100% got a weekend away with their other half, they changed it when they realised people deliberatley stopped selling when they got to 95% !!!

Ah. Figured it out now! It's the rock from which the estate agent has crawled out from:

EB = Ealing Broadway
CHK = Chiswick
ACT = Acton

(etc)
