I was just thinking what a motors garage would look like:p

I can see a load of folks sitting around a car arguing about what was wrong with it and Nissan Doc, Row and george dalton sitting like judges, telling us what was actually wrong with it:D

A few jobs in this garage would be

RJ receptionist, good luck to anyone who wants to argue about their bill
MM, car wash
Test Transmission, exhaust dept
SH, spoiler dept
Dgt, engine removal
Gary and lightening, race team
Colm mcm and matt simms, R&D
Gollywog........photography;)
Me 166man and Stheno in the alfa dept (obviously with fcuck all to do;) )
Lots of folk in the vw and bmw dept, flat oot!
bubblewrap.....no clue

Any more nominations for positions in ths new enterprise? :pac:

I've just seen this now. I would like to nominate myself as the Comaint Resolution Department.

Customer: I have a complaint to make.
RJ: No problem. I'll just pass you over to my collegue......Chuck Norris. :pac:

Oh yes indeed That rattle is being sorted next week! My mechanic did quite a bit of research into it and he's fairly certain that it'll be easy enough. We'll see about that!

I took it for a blast last night, and I'll tell ya one thing, the noise from the engine is actually heavenly!

I'd rather take on Norris than have to face down RJ tbh!

Can I be in charge of the topless calenders in the jacks?

RoverJames doesn't call the wrong number. You answer the wrong phone.

Thanks to George Dalton for fitting my new brake discs!
Its only now I see how bad they were, it was one thing I didnt like about the car, now they are awesome! Great service, great price. (i know that sounds a bit like ebay feedback:p) highly reccomended:cool:

Edit: my youngest daughter wasnt too impressed with the loaner car, I'm raising a badge snob

Your filthy Alfa is visible in the advert for the black 08 Passat. MM would beat you with the handle of his DA!

You can't hear it at all when the windows are up, even with no stereo on but everyone else can hear it and it's embarrassing!

She has her own car so she can layyyv my car alone!

That is one of the petrol head curses. You think it sounds so bad, that people around 5km range can hear it and thinking " look at that idiot, his car is falling apart, what a loser". In reality no one hears or cares.

I don't THINK it sounds bad, I KNOW it does....there's a difference!

At least someone empathizes with me

Thats my car allright! I could tell you it was clean when I left home, but it'd be a lie:D

And thats me and my youngest daughter just after getting out of the green punto. Well spotted

Edit: I hope my car didnt catch any reliability problems off that vw

Stuck the offroad suspension in my newly aquired van today.

And while I was at it, also was checking out things like the state of my brakepads. Especially, since the brake pad sensor is bust.

Now that's impressive. The disc has seperated from the center piece.

Obviously, I'm changing that in the morning. Have to change the ceased caliper and the pads, too. I can't imagine, how on earth the previous owner could drive around with that for ages.

The rear shocks of the van were also dead. And if I say dead, I mean dead dead.

That looks like one of the reliable ones. Face lift and common rail are good points I'd imagine! Plus from use not so long ago it doesn't leave the place unless it's good to go!

You haven't heard anything until you have heard the suspension on my Alfa. Squeeking like there's no tomorrow. I use the Alfa ''roar'' to drown it out!

That 10 D Passat that George has for sale I really like, it's got a lovely spec on it and looks suitably classy. :cool:

Squeaking? High miles on it or age?

With me the colder mornings are eating away at me when I turn the key. Was driving a petrol for a week and it really brought it home...
