wookiecj 9 Posted June 11, 2010 Report Share Posted June 11, 2010 (edited) Being told by the garage which was MOTing a Clio that I had just finished doing a head gasket change on that it was going to fail the MOT on emissions. They said: "There's no charge yet but there are no free retests, so did I want to continue the test to see if there was anything else wrong with it?" Answer: Yes, of course I want you to go and waste my money by testing the car twice, and paying twice, when you've just given me a 'get out of jail card' highlighting a major failure point. Note to self.... must take the batteries out of the 'stupid' light that must be installed in my forehead! Still, I suppose they could have done the whole thing and then said it had failed. Hope the Punto that they are testing now doesn't have a problem or it's going to be an expensive weekend! Paul, hope your back gets better soon.......

Simon350S 192 Posted June 11, 2010 Report Share Posted June 11, 2010 Alcohol is infact fantastic at completely solving all back pain no matter how severe.

Mark Blanchard 1,678 Posted July 18, 2010 Report Share Posted July 18, 2010 A mates new girlfriend asked if my car was Knightrider's car. Then to add unsult to injuring she asked if it was a kit car. She wasn't joking either. She then said it looked like a lego car and she said she didn't like it. I know some ladies aren't really into cars so I can vaguely understand, but she didn't make a good first impression! Quote Mark www.lotusespritturbo.com Link to post Share on other sites
