Just have a read of this

PH: My wrecked exotic

I best head down to the Seat garage, as they've got my car for half a week. LOL

Good tip is to always read the milometer & if poss let the garage know you have read it, its what a lot of people with exotics do to discourage excessive road tests

Hmm - hope that gets sorted :eek:

Id kill them.................

Never heard of a GTM Libra

19,171 - And they know!

Nasty.

Though I do take some solace from the certain knowledge that said mechanic probably soiled himself badly at the time.

They're a bloodthirsty lot, aren't they...

Lets imagine for a moment you did buy the Porsche.......

now let's imagine that Dwayne, the spotty-faced youth on an YTS training scheme at the local 'independent specialists' carried out an oil change on said Porker, then took it out to "warm up the oil".

And then came back in an ambulance. Without the car.

Which then turned up at the local breakers yard.

With bits of the engine adorning some of Cheshires finest hedgerows and one exquisitely crafted alloy now being used as part of a new water feature in Mrs Trellis' freshly planted Begonias........

Would you be sitting calmly, simply putting it down to "youthful exuberance"?

In the first instance, I think not.

omfg! that is terrible, i hope the guy driving get a good beasting from the magistrate.....

I know some of the judiciary are a little kinky, but I think I'm gonna be sick:O

rough justice:D

....With a baseball bat and lots of waggling his wig

OMFG - Garages are such a bunch of cowboys sometimes. I have had dents etc from main dealers, but that is shocking.

If my car came back without being washed I'd hit the roof, if that happened I would probably just explode!

On a serious note its thankful he lived, it says a lot for so called plastic cars

I doubt I'd be very calm at all, but I'm sure I could resist caving his head in! Upset - even furious - I can understand, but there are people there who aren't the owner and still want to hunt down the mechanic and inflict serious bodily damage, and that seems to be going a little far to me.

They ae quite nice when straight GTM Libra - Overview

at some of the posts in this thread

I reckon the guy who own(s/ed) the car involved is remarkably calm about it all, I would have been on the 'particularly fuming' side of angry I reckon for a little while, then I would have calmed down and try to work out how they were going to get it fixed for no cost to 'me'.

Shocking nevertheless. There is a case for a test drive, definitely. I'm also quite happy about the garage giving the car a proper run, but I'd expect a proper warm up and cool down, i.e. respecting the car.

I sure wouldnt expect it to be crashed :eek:

You've got 2 chances of this - slim and none...

Do you remeber this one:

A friend at Porsche GB was telling me of a hairy incident - IIRC 3 Porkers were written off in one incident by a cheap labour valeter when he hit the loud pedal in a Cayenne, ploughing it into 2 further customer cars...

The guys at a main dealer are (hopefully) going to be fully trained and have the proper knowledge on how to correctly service your motor. Whether they'll have the time to attend to each point is another matter. I'm not in the industry, but I know a couple of dealer mechanics (Citroen and Porsche). Pressure for throughput is intense.

True, I hear from my more "connected" associates that blood and human tissue are nigh on impossible to remove 100% from interiors.......

While I'm not calling from the execution of aforemention spanner-monkey, I do expect a very public flogging.

I don't thinkthe words "calm", "rational" or "compassionate" would be applied to me under the circumstances - "irate", "homicidal" and "subject to a custodial sentence for criminal damages" would be more likely.

I love you

A mate of mine was once passed by his own Integra Type R one night when it was supposed to be 'safely locked up' in a garage. And it wasn't exactly out for a spin to dry it after being washed either. And a mates dad (about 12 years ago) needed a new engine for his mint 300+ bhp Sierra Cosworth RS500 after it was 'taken for a spin'.

C0ckbags. A few people ruin a lot of peoples trust in garages.
