looks nice. Was it someone who had come into money but had previously owned a Disco or Rangie???

Was it someone having withdrawal symptoms from laning battle scars??

I am sure there is a good story behind this one ;)

I used to work for a Mazda main agent.
A sales rep took a brand new RX7 that had just been PDI checked for a run and got t boned before he got off the forecourt.

Sick or what. He went rather green at the gills.

Judging by the colour of the oil on the floor, it needed a service, but it is a hell of a way to drain the oil..... turning it upside down  :lol:

We had a Grand voyager in today that the new salesman at the dealers had sideswiped.  Also the MDs Merc(same firm) that someone had reversed into. And a Grand Cherokee for a whole side (think a customer of theirs did that tho).

We put 2 door on a Voyager once when the mechanic who was servicing it had a slight accident - they never did tell the customer (waiting for parts sir - be back in a couple of days).

And once swapped a wing and a door in an hour after one of their valeters clobbered a (new) Grand Cherokee 3 hours before the guy came in to pick it up.  We put the panels from a demo car on it, repaired the panels the next day, and put them on the demo....

Many years ago a friend of my dad had a 8 month old XJ12 Jag and while reversing it into the garage noticed the exaust was blowing, open the door and leaned down to look under the car, couldn't hear it very well so he tapped the gas peddle, car was still in reverse.
When straight through the back of the brick build garage up to the B pillar.
Ouch!!!!

Kings Volvo in Winchester had one a few years back. guy brought an 850T5, drove it off the forecourt and pulled out in front of an artic.

Turns out after lots of badgering by the sales staff he insisted he'd arranged his own insurance and drove his spanking new car out in front of that truck, only he hadnt really got insurance.
