Best Courtesy Car?

[shamus1972]

Hi,

I've just taken my Tuscan in for its 12000 mile service and am currently driving a Ford Fiesta courtesy car! I know TVR aren't particularly generous with courtesy car but I was wondering what other cars people have been offered. My local dealer has 3 Fiat Puntos and a Ford Fiesta. Oh yes, they also have a Lexus, but that's for Lexus customers!

Back in 1986 when I had my 350i I had put it into Harrogate Horseless Carriages and got a diatsuhi don't know which model it was but it was very small and only had three cylinders. Believe it or not it was actually fun to drive!

BMW dealers always lend me a 3-Series BMW when my 7-Series is being serviced. A TVR dealer tried to lend me a Mini when the Griff was being serviced (I say tried because I demanded something better). An independent TVR dealer lent me a Saab which broke down.

Competition time: Name the dealers and win a banana....

Speed Six Cerbera when my Griff was delayed coming back from Kings.

Mind you, they had previously messed up a few things...

I've had a Micra, a Corsa and a Ka.

I recently had a Corsa 1.2 in bright blue. I would like to think people stayed away because of the bright colour, but it may have had something to do with my driving

Some of the PHers on the Porsche board have been lent Boxster S porsches whilst their own cars are being worked on.

Just a guess But does the dealers name sound like one of mungo's conquests? 'the surname bit?'

[craigw]

Audi TT for 6 weeks when a bus hit me in the Griff. That car got driven like it was stolen! - went through a field, in a river and over a humpback bridge at 80, flew quite well!

I recently had a Merc E320 Kompressor for 2 weeks when the Tamora had a nose job.

Where's Flasher, didn't he have a 4.5 Cerby when his Tamora was in? I had a Fiat Uno Diesel when my Range Rover was in for repairs after a Clio hit me

[granville]

Best ever courtesy car was whilst my Cerby was being decatted at the factory; they rolled out their mega mileage J-plate Griff 4.3 'big valve' as driven by Jeremy Clarkson 60,000 miles earlier...

Oo-er, missus. I was quite reluctant to give it back!

'Just a guess But does the dealers name sound like one of mungo's conquests? 'the surname bit?''

Raceboy, sorry, too obscure to answer, can only think of Mungo Jerry or Mary Mungo and Midge and I don't know any dealers that rhyme with Berry or Midge... help...

err....... a Clio manged to make an impact on a Range Rover, what to underside of the bodywork !!!!
Whould have hated to have been in the Clio as that must have been a total mess !!!

[raceboy]

Sorry simpo, PH name mungo, a bit of a ladies man, anyway 'blower'?

[cutmonster]

Was offered an MGF. Took a Punto instead. Couldn't stand people thinking I was a hairdresser.

I asked for Jamie Boots 440hp Grantura yesterday from Race and Marine when I dropped off the S2, sadly I coudn't quite convince them..

A few years back when Tower View Racing were sorting out my 350, I had Dave's Renault 5 GT Turbo. It was slightly well errr ahhemm, modified . The first time I pressed the loud pedal it was,' Whooaa! Holy $*it!!'
Apparently it was is de-tuned form.

I have since held a dark place in my heart for R 5 Turbo's.

Respect

TMS gave me their brand new Cerbera demo car for two weeks earlier this year. Excellent!!

[noodles 4.2]

I have just got back from TMS.....with a Volvo S40.

It is crap.

So whose c@"k did you have to suck to get the Cerb?
