    No doubt about it, the guy knows how to work metal/filler/paint.

    But you have to wonder, there's a few cars in there that should have gone to the crusher, the Mazda 3, the Mondeo, the Daihatsu, even the Isuzu and Civic (on cost grounds alone ).

    The only justification I can see for fixing some of them is that labour is cheap, and parts are cheap - it would never pay you, here, to put that stuff back together.

    Ode To The Motorist

    “And my existence, while grotesque and incomprehensible to you, generates funds to the exchequer. You don't want to acknowledge that as truth because, deep down in places you don't talk about at the Green Party, you want me on that road, you need me on that road. We use words like freedom, enjoyment, sport and community. We use these words as the backbone of a life spent instilling those values in our families and loved ones. You use them as a punch line. I have neither the time nor the inclination to explain myself to a man who rises and sleeps under the tax revenue and the very freedom to spend it that I provide, and then questions the manner in which I provide it. I would rather you just said "thank you" and went on your way. Otherwise I suggest you pick up a bus pass and get the ********* ********* off the road”

    the colour matches on some of those are shocking. I'm only using my laptop but I can see the difference.

    I second that. Was in BMW garage in Rathangan a few years back when the company was buying it's fleet there (Ford Mondeos) and was told by the salesman that he had seen a 3 series come off the top of a loader truck and land on it's arse. They fixed it up and sold it on. Same day a CL55AMG came in with huge drivers side damage all the way down the length of it and the sales guys were queing up to get a spin in it, hense why the 3 series came up in conversation.
