Will I or Won't I Get My Car Back Today?
« on: January 25, 2013, 09:07:28 AM »
I am instructed to rush about playing chess with vehicles as the Garage say they will return my car today?  They have been about to do this every day since 9th January.  They have had trouble getting the paint right and then admitted they had trouble with the headlight carrier, which it has taken me 2 and half years to get replaced (and cost me £70) as it had been glued in a bodge job before the car was 12 months old!  I will make coffee and see how I am feeling post shower.  NickSick

Dunno.
I was talkin' about that paint wot changes colour when you move yer 'ed around to look at it.
It's an absolute HORROR show to match apparently, and comes out at approx 400 snotters a litre!!! Shocked:

Some of these pearlescants are nearly as bad too.

You should try "Hold-ups" ...... They stop the circulation to your feet, or so Woodstock says.

Zackly.

The car was brought back.... and is now back on the lorry and returning to the garage.  There was up to half an inch movement on the headlight, the other side is solid and does not move.

Just waiting for the Customer Satisfaction Survey to hit my email inbox, just like the one from the Hotel that charged me for a night when I was only there for a couple of hours.   Explode:
