New record????!!!!!! Not a good one either.........

Post by Andy G » Wed Jul 19, 2006 6:21 pm

My car has been at MMC since the 9th of June, or 7 weeks on Friday! :(

Has anyone managed to beat this :?:

Hopefully not -

Oh, and still not eta for it being back on the road.........cracking service. Oh and despite a call from the MD and Head of Service last week promising responses on Monday, nothing........

Sorry to hear the troubles continue
Will you keep her when you get her back or would she remind you of bad times?
I remember you being quite keen on the Atom.....

I was meant to be getting a call when he returned :evil: :evil: :x :x :evil:
I've been waiting for 4.5 months to get my problem sorted FFS! That's despite being told when I went in that it would be getting done.

Pah amateurs

I had an Audi eat a gearbox a week before i was going to join a ship so i left it in local garage.

4 months later came home and the feckers had taken the gearbox out and lost half the bits and had not fitted the replacement box.

They then fitted it and a few days later on the way to aberdeen from glasgow the gearbox damn near dropped out. Sunday lunchtime i crawled into a Kiwk-Fit to put the car on the ramps and i bolted the box in properly

Haven't decided yet. Severly pissed off though. We'll be back to winter at this rate. Hoping to visit the Ariel stand on Sunday at the Motor Show :wink:

The Atom is off the coolness scale in my book. The supercharged version looks scarily quick - 550 odd bhp per ton - yikes :shock: Would make absolutely any Elise/Exige feel slow in comparison.

Just come off the phone with Bill so it looks like things might actually progress with mine now! Still, at least it isn't off the road.

Sucks Andy - Are they paying or is that still in dispute?

Brian didn't you know you were the Brian in Scotland with the Noble - I hear MMC now have the Noble franchise for scotland :(

I wish MMC the best of luck in dealing with the well-meaning amateurs at Noble.

On the Ariel - a well driven Exige would have it in the corners
