Bargin Performance.
« on: 05 July 2011, 15:17 »
So Mr Mexican drops into work wants a erm well not a service but the oil (but not filter) and air filter changed.

So I stuggle pulling off the airfilter lid and found out why this car is such a damn rocket.

 :grin:

Tbf, I thought it sounded like a turbo, so it had me fooled for 2 minutes, til I realised it was a proper turbo anyway.  :grin:




Customer had just bought said car. Real bargin. Oh really?

Wife broke your dipstick? No problems, screw it.



No need to worry about panel gaps! The chassis is so bent you needeent worry!



Obligitory "OEM" foglights.


And the worst part:


Would you like some icing on your fairly high priced (but its mint) cake?

How about a blatently faked service book?  :grin:

Where all my moneys went.

Looks like an average trade car to me.

Everything should be straight, everything pointing down.  :grin:

@Benrevs, owner bought a "mint car, well looked after for age, carefully driven, not a write off and not stolen".

The owner is quite dim tho.  :grin:
