Buy a Westfield, you get that with every bloody speed bump you meet

Edited to add: Hi Lois, welcome to pistonheads, wonder if Chris will find out sooner or later

Westfields have scary faces tho!

Sorry this reminds me a bit of this thread
Guess I'm probably too old, but I don't really find it that funny
Had it been his own car, well that would have been funny

[shadowninja]

s'wot i thought. so how can i ensure that a mechanic/
or valeter cant rev over 2000rpm or exceed 20mph when i leave my car at a garage?

[NICE EH]

Make a very overt display of writing down the mileage when you hand the keys over to them.

Worked every time on the guy that valeted my Tiv.

He'd have been OK if it wasn't an A4 V6 as they R front end heavy so it dipped when he broke. Didn't realise it was a hump back!
They've still asked him back next week tho!!

Depends if it was a 2.8 or 3.0 and whether it was a quattro. Mine doesn't dive under heavy braking at all.

[lois22]

2.8 I THINK

[yertis]

Words cannot convey the contempt in which I hold people who behave like that with other peoples property. Not funny and not impressed.

[agent006]

and the moral of the story is....

if the valter/garage/tyreman/hoovermonkey offers to collect and deliver your car the answer is NO (you'd ratehr walk (through red hot tracle)).

my brother-in-law wondered how the damage got on the undersode of his motor.....................

[lois22]

lol - didn't drive it that far!
I really hate my dad's driving! Keep complaining but doesn't work and he thinks he'd make a good driving instructor!
Atleast he doesn't have 2 "teach" me anymore when I drive...grrrr!...I just put the radio on now!

Are you related to the policeman in Allo, Allo!

[grandadmotorbike]

Only the sump? If he was really going for it the suspension would have come through the bonnet. Yes it does!
