Hi,

anyone know what the deal is with BHP Sorts Car Hire (formerly F1 Leisure) of Thornbury?

Firstly I never quite understood why they changed their name a while ago, but now it eems their website has either:

a) gone to bits

b) been hijacked


as it seems to have a funny evil cartoon head at the top right and copious use of the word "wibble" in it (getting this in Firefox and IE)

Sorry I can't give you any advice on this one, but reading their website did give me a laugh:

"We supply sports cars for Wibble, we specialise in wibble sports car hire, prestige car hire, luxury sports car hire wibble, and chauffer driven wibble sports cars. We have a fleet that includes wibble cars’s, Lamborghini’s, Aston Martin’s, Bentley’s, and Mercedes all for self drive wibble."

Yep,

when they changed to BHP I emailed them to tell them about typos on the site

They had obviously gone through with "replace" replacing every instance of F1 with BHP

Accordingly, the gearbox on the Ferrari 360 and 430 became a "BHP" gearbox!

They changed it all a few days after I emailed them, but did I get a thankyou? did I bks!

Thats the whole thing, the site was perfectly clear and fine text wise (plus none of the dodgy looking cartoon character) only a few months ago (when I last looked)

Most odd
