As a bit of a laff and something to joke/smile about....


Who thinks they will be the first to "break" there new motor when they get it ?


Or even better stories of past visits to garages for fixes/services etc

how many porky pies you told to hide the fact you blue the gasket or forgot to check oil levels etc.


For me i had a company Astra which i took on a trip down South on the way back a golf ball whacked the grill. didnt think anything of it but it puctured the radiator. Suffice to say a day later going to work the engine blew its gasket because it overheated. Thermostat got hit as well so i couldnt tell


I just pleaded ignorance.....

Last thing I want or need is my car in the garrage.

I'd find it a complete nightmare getting to work without my own motor, I'd have to have a curtesey car or rent one.

Wont baby it, never have done, wont now, but will make sure its run properly.

Im sure I will "brake" it straight away, I just hope I dont "break" it :D

I suppose there is a small risk that you take by having a "new" model car, as any early teething problems wont be ironed out.

Also if you prang it (god forbid), what will the availability of spares be like?
