Post by: robbie on February 14, 2006, 21:55:53: 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 ;)

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.

Post by: dave_2A_2.25Turbo on February 15, 2006, 01:57:34: 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....

Post by: Evilgoat on February 15, 2006, 09:14:46: 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.
