3 x handmade shirts
alt: right now it would probably go on the service for my car. fucking useless twats at merc were supposed to pick it up at 8. they didn't turn up. at 9 i left for work, furious and late. they have just called to say they are on their way. you can't turn up 4 hours late, you CUNTS. some of us have JOBS to go to. that's how we pay for the car and the extortionate service in the first place, you utter fuckwits.

altalt: any job that is mundane and just relies upon the same old thing. data entry maybe.

Call them back and tell them you want a better courtesy car than the one they offered
for mucking you around.

(Assuming they offered you a loan car whilst they find problems with your car)

i don't even need a loan car as i will be at work
i just need the cunts to turn up when they said they would!
(, Tue 16 Oct 2012, 11:55, Reply)
They don't need to know that.
The chances are they'll offer a loan car if you ask for one, meaning you - and everyone else using this garage is paying for a loan car whether they need/take one or not.

i could have a loan car
but as it wouldn't have a parking permit for my street, it would end up costing me a hell of a lot. cheaper to accept that the bill is inflated, i think.

at alton towers a couple of weeks ago
i was horrified to see a teenage girl wearing a sweatshirt that read "i love jis".

took me a little while to realise it was JLS in lower case.

We've been here before. You knowingly handed over money to Mercedes
the car company with possibly the largest chasm in the known universe between percieved brand quality and actual product and service quality, and you expect sympathy?

the car is great, to be fair
it's just the service staff who suck gigantic salty balls

as well as charging you £150 an hour to wank into your glove box.

they'll just have to go for the pants in the boot

riiggght.
They are servicing it. They have the keys.

If you haven't given them keys, you realise they are charging you £750 to pick it up, hide it round the corner for a day and bring it back, don't you?

They'll probably remove the fuse that lights the 'service warning' light on the dash.

silly badger
the glovebox has its own key

You mean it has its own, entirely separate key
or you have a master key and a valet key?

fucking hell
having just rearranged it all with head office, i just got a stroppy call from the garage to say their driver is waiting outside.

"we can only collect between 8am and 12pm". i told her that was useless for clients who actually had a job. why are these people so inept badger? why? she is getting her manager to call me...

and yes, it's like a small silver thing, not the big one that starts the engine!

It depends
If you get an old Merc then you actually get great buid quality etc and you dont have to deal with the dealerships... I agree about new ones though
(, Tue 16 Oct 2012, 12:02, Reply)
yeah, but you have to go pretty old.
I used to drive old beemers a lot for the same reason, but you have to accept that you look like a criminal. and a not very well off criminal at that.

Having said that, I'm still hoping to convince Mrs B that a 10 year old CL55AMG is a sensible second car. £7K for a supercar that cost £100K 10 years ago? bargain.

That is cheap.
Until you have to buy tyres or a clutch.
(, Tue 16 Oct 2012, 12:06, Reply)
Tyres aren't too bad relative to modern cars, really
FFS, my shitty diesel Saab has 235R17s on it. Even my S2000 only had 245s on the back, what's wrong with people?

Clutches are for jessies.

I'm enjoying 'car talk' this week and I might go to the auctions this afternoon as a result.
And why does the cat belonging to Postman Pat need a clutch?

make sure you don't sneeze
and accidentally buy a 20 year old mondeo

There are 20 of them, after all.

i dated a guy with a car like that

I've had someone telling me to buy a convertible, purely because they think it'll suit them.
That isn't going to happen.

anything over 10 years old
and you get a decent motor, parts are expensive in general but my local garage can service 90% of the stuff on mine without a problem and it saves a fortune...

You should take it to the garage around the corner.

Oh, that's right, you don't live somewhere with useful services nearby.
(, Tue 16 Oct 2012, 11:56, Reply)
that is still more effort than them picking it up and returning it valeted, no?
if they had actually turned up.

there is a garage at olympia, but it looks like a proper dodgy chop-shop
