Just Followed Martin

[Rusty]

Well was coming home and saw the car go past my house and went "same number plate, i'll follow him and say hi"

so followed him 5 cars behind all the way down Nithsdale road till Dumbreck train station where he turned left, so i followed (he had done a u turn) so i gave a toot,

down came the window

"do i know you?" asked the driver

"umm, its martins car"

"its in getting work done"

"ahh ok then"

so i spotted martins car, but without him in it!
that means he may be out on the bike

I think martins going to be a bit pissed when he finds his cars being used for joy rides

Especially when it's meant to be in getting fixed by vauxhall and they said it wouldn't be ready until Tuesday



I've just checked my voicemail and arnold clark have left me a message to call them back - I assume they weren't doing stupid miles an hour adam ?

EDIT : im in the panda today - 2 wheels + 84 torques + snow = certain death

[Rusty]

Nah they weren't doing anything stupid, they were stuck behind a car doing 30, and i was a few cars back so couldn't see if they were doing anything daft.

glad i pointed this out then, will happily vouch for it being driven if you want to put in a complaint to arnold clark.

yeah i was in the car instead of the bike today, first day i've been feeling well but not safe enough for the bike lol.

i have the same amount of torques now aswell just mine are noisier.

Just called them - standard arnold clark procedure to do a 1/4 mile "safety check drive" on each car

On the plus side, thanks to the AA a new alternator and battery just cost me £25

EDIT : Care to enlighten me on how "noiser" = "double the torques it had when it left japan"

[Rusty]

you should put dumbreck train station into google maps and compare it too the post code of arnold clark and if its over 1/4 mile, complain lol.

That's just fecking nonsense Safety check! For an alternator and a battery? I think an ammeter would be more appropriate
Tell them they owe you 4 new tyres and half a tank of fuel

[Lazydonkey]

Car is back.

They did 5 miles since i dropped it off. Not happy but at least it wasn't 50 miles *




*it had fcuk all petrol in it so i'd like to have seen them try
