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

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

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.

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

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)).

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!
