Doris was called nasty names!

Had to pop to The Landrover Main Dealers yesterday that are
replacing the expired engine in my Disgay 3. ( Engine only did
71k before it seized solid on the M62) Anyway, I parked Doris my
Series3 on the forecourt of the dealers next to a foo king
expensive Rangerover. I was just finishing off my tab behind the
old girl when I heard 2 voices. 1 said look at that pile of
shit, it should be in a fucking scap yard. The second guy
agreed. This was 2 mechanics from the garage talking. I stuck my
head round and said to them in a rather fucking angry voice,
How dare you speak about my vehicle in that way, I added it's
more reliable than any of the cars on this forecourt!
To cut a long story short, I was speaking about my Disgay to the
service manager when I asked to see my Disgay in its kit form
while in their workshop. Low and behold the fucking cock
mechanic that slagged of Dioris was working on my Disgay. I made
a point of asking the very red faced mechanic tosser some
awkward questions before I added that my earlier point of
reliability was correct.
The service manager asked if I knew the mechanic that was
working on my Disgay. I told him about the earlier comments .
The manager was so shocked and apologetic he gave me a free LR
golf Umberella!
Result!

I work in a main Vauxhall Dealer. Most of the people there
prefer any older car over a new GM product. We get all sorts of
weird and wonderful tat turn up. One chap arrived in a tiny
thing, and thought nobody would recognise his Goggomobil..... He
then turned up a week later in a Berkeley.... He eventually DID
buy a new Vauxhall for his Mrs, suggesting that if us workshop
staff could recognise those, his new car would be in safe hands.

I had a similar experience with Evobus, the [s]useless cunts[/s]
company who have the sales and service contract for Mercedes
buses in the UK. We bought 3 new ones for the princely sum of
£138,000 each back in 2003, our first brand new buses. All 3
were off the road within a few weeks due to failed air rams in
the drivers seats. The [s]brain-dead cunt[/s] mechanic from
Evobus came to "fix" them and slagged off our "old shit" in the
yard, namely the MCW Metrobuses dating from 1977-1985. As our
workshop manager (imagine Axel Rose with tourettes) politely
pointed out to aforementioned Evobus bell-end, "none of those
have ever been off the road for faulty drivers seats, now fuck
off you cunt". The MD phoned Evobus and suggested they get 'em
fixed pronto and as the health of the bell-end who slagged our
fleet off could not be guaranteed they'd better send someone
else. :smilewide:

such strange professional? people. wife purchased a new YETI
last December and we want a hook on it, will do most of my own
but won't have anything to do with cambus trickery so we
negotiated with a mobile fitter and the supplying dealer for
fitment, took the car over and I recovered her in my respctable
van, however next day for recovery took the old multi hued Caddy
p/up, parked it immediately outside the automatic dooto this
shiney new showroom full of new vehicles, got nothing but
friendly comments and a bit of ribbing, the parts assistance
even wanted to buy it, he is not alone in this they seem to have
quite a following now, similar to the old Mini p/up, kind
regards SH><. :thumbs:
