MacW Posted March 22, 2010 Posted March 22, 2010 Just watched some bloke drive my Z away, taking to repair a dent in the rear quarter left by an anonymous git in Asda car park. I've never let anyone else drive it, sitting here with a lead lump in my stomach Sad aren't I. Quote
stanski Posted March 22, 2010 Posted March 22, 2010 Not sad mate - they are like your babies only you can take care of them properly - everyone else is just scum! We do the same when taking it for an MOT - its like its doing its A Level exam you want it to pass!!! Quote
MacW Posted March 22, 2010 Author Posted March 22, 2010 That's him. THAT'S HIM! You've used him then, does he do good repair work? Quote
DoogyRev Posted March 22, 2010 Posted March 22, 2010 Not sad at all, when mine went off for a new bumper I was like a cat on a hot tin roof But a subtle "goes well doesn't it" on its return and gauge the reaction......... I had "I'm not sure what you mean sir" Just make sure you go over everything with a fine tooth comb.... I also took a pic of the mileage and fuel level... er... paranoid..... me Quote
Cragus Posted March 22, 2010 Posted March 22, 2010 Did he look like this? Can't complain - he did a great job on mine. Like a glove! Quote
Roo Posted March 22, 2010 Posted March 22, 2010 Let a mate of mine drive zed other day, was terrified. But now I know why the missus complains of whiplash Quote
Boycey Posted March 22, 2010 Posted March 22, 2010 I know how you feel, I let the guys from Japex drive mine away last week for a service, i felt sick to my stomach. Watching it pull into the driveway felt like christmas had come early, The last time the wife drove it she was so scared (she drives a 1.4 206) i needed a taxi to get to the kerb Quote
SwanageDave Posted March 23, 2010 Posted March 23, 2010 I let a repair company drive my Audi away for a small repair and it came back with an extra 800 miles and a ticket for the southampton V blackburn game ticket in the glove box...the cheeky B$$$$rd. Quote
Husky Posted March 23, 2010 Posted March 23, 2010 I let a repair company drive my Audi away for a small repair and it came back with an extra 800 miles and a ticket for the southampton V blackburn game ticket in the glove box...the cheeky B$$$$rd. NO WAY!! that's unreal!!!!!! i hate hate hate hate letting anyone drive mine at all, tbh i barely trust them in the passenger seat. Quote
andlid Posted March 23, 2010 Posted March 23, 2010 Make sure they have insurance... and not some stupid disclaimer stating that "we take no liability for any damage occured on your vechile even if it's our fault" Remember when I read this: http://www.colinfitz.com/another-ferrar ... sandyford/ Thats why I do this when I drop my car off (never happened yet though...but 'when') Quote
Husky Posted March 23, 2010 Posted March 23, 2010 thats brilliant mate, good plan. would be a laugh to know their reaction if they tried to gun it Quote
andlid Posted March 23, 2010 Posted March 23, 2010 thats brilliant mate, good plan. would be a laugh to know their reaction if they tried to gun it Never thought of that, maybe something to think about for the next MOT! (NCT) Quote
D13vyl Posted March 23, 2010 Posted March 23, 2010 Mate If u love ur car its completely normal to hate someone else in the driving seat. Afterall no one has the same bond with the car like u have. I even hate leaving it at the garage as who knows what scratches it can pick up there, D Quote
