After all the nit picking tedious doubters responding to my post its slightly put me off posting on hear... If you don't believe this then don't think your gonna believe some of my other motoring escapades.
Think I may stick to posting on my car specific forum.
I enjoyed the story a lot more than all the silly bThink I may stick to posting on my car specific forum.
ks after about whether it was true or not and will enjoy reading any more anecdotes you care to share.Doddington said:
Fair enough. I post regularly on a forum specific to my car and received positive response on there. I can understand It looks odd as its my first post. Ive been a reader on here for years just never bothered posting. I may post another equally mad story soon and provide some evidence.

People can spend time out on the naughty step if they are found out deliberately telling porkies on here.ks after about whether it was true or not and will enjoy reading any more anecdotes you care to share.
That will teach me to point out spelling mistakes.There are some absolute dicks on here just because it's his first post doesn't mean he is lying and then try to nit pick everything about him ffs grow up.
I do believe the story im on mx5 nutz myself been in similar situation with car salesmen before. Allthough not to crash a Ferrari.
I own an mx5 and I could go out and get a Ferrari owning a cheap car doesn't mean you cant afford something more expensive.

I'm with the OP on this. st happens, the salesman is probably the safest driver in the office to hand some car keys to now.
He made a silly mistake, we all do it from time to time. Nobody was hurt in this case so you could chalk it up to a very expensive lesson to the salesman.
There might be the added bonus that the OP will also now be in the good graces of the dealership for doing them a favour, (I'd be sure to let them know that too).
With regards to the widow, well, things turned out rosy for her, she sold the car (well, the dealership/salesman will have bought it) and she probably got paid asking price to avoid any questions.
IMO this is the way things like this should be handled, none of the looking for any opportunity to screw your fellow man over.
Of course, had someone been hurt then that would be completely different.
Nice to see a sensible post. As already stated - st happens, the salesman is probably the safest driver in the office to hand some car keys to now.

From MX5 to 355? Big jump!
Maybe in some people eyes... Fezza idea on back burner now until next year now unfortunately due to business commitments 
. Thinking maybe a s2000 or Boxster in the meantime... Although a I think a Z4 is also a worthy contender... Love my Mx5 to pieces tho... Such a cracking car... Ive actually just helped one of my staff buy one... He comes into work every morning with the biggest grin... 
Best staff moral booster ive ever found... and an absolute bargain!Gassing Station | General Gassing | Top of Page | What's New | My Stuff
