	// create api interface
	$api = new api_call();
	
	// Fetch vehicles by using interace
	$vehicles_json = file_get_contents( $api->getDealerVehicles( $_GET['cid'] /* ID of a Client of ours */ ) );
	// Remember the format is returned
	
	// Decode json objects
	$vehicles = json_decode( $vehicles_json ); // Convert json string into php object

	// Loop thru results
	foreach( $vehicles as $v )
	{
		// Example of usage
		echo $v->MAKE." ".$v->MODEL." ".$v->YEAR." ".$v->VIN."<br /><br />";
		//echo $v->IMAGE;"<br>";
		
		// To see all fields of $v
		# print_r( $v );
	}
