A tad uneconomical with the truth I'd say. Will be interesting to see how the repairs have been carried out.

Just reaffirms two vital things when buying:

  • Always HPI a car
  • ALWAYS read what you're going to sign

Looked like every other car on their lot was a cat C. As said, check, check and, check again before parting with the hard-earned.

A car dealer near me, when found out by the Cook Report, stuck a big banner up saying....

"As seen on TV"

Got to laugh......

Not in any way condoning the quality of the repair but is a pedestrian really going to pass through the bumper to hit the "blades". Typical bbc hamming it up, I expect they would be bounced over or under the car, unless you pinned them against a wall, in which case you're probably trying to kill them anyway..

Small car company? Something like that.
