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.

i just need the cunts to turn up when they said they would!

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.

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.

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?

it's just the service staff who suck gigantic salty balls

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?

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!

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

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.

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.

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...

I had an argument with mighters once about bespoke vs off the peg, I can't remember which side I was on.

You should take it to the garage around the corner.
Oh, that's right, you don't live somewhere with useful services nearby.

if they had actually turned up.
there is a garage at olympia, but it looks like a proper dodgy chop-shop
