pistonbroke Posted October 15, 2009 Share Posted October 15, 2009 Worst nightmare. I've had something similar, but not as bad as that. I saw my old FTO out and about while it was supposed to be getting serviced so I followed it. I saw the technician get out and buy 3 bags of chips, then get back in and drive back to the garage. To be fair, he drove fine the whole time (mind you, FTO's are hardly sports cars ). I told the service manager and he got my car fully valeted for free as a result.

pistonbroke Posted October 15, 2009 Share Posted October 15, 2009 Cool bit of technology that It is pretty smart, though you wouldn't want the police finding it after a little spirited driving. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dnk Posted October 15, 2009 Share Posted October 15, 2009 Not good but not supprising these days, i know the garages as its next door to a mates unit, afraid i dont know the garage that took the car for a joy ride though but the police have been round according to my mate. The police apparently followed the car but didnt stop it as the officer was on his own, they then went to the owners address and then the story unfolded from there.

It should IMHO. I know they were piloting a scheme in the USA of a similar type. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Abz Posted October 15, 2009 Share Posted October 15, 2009 Noooo I just left my car at the garage to get it serviced!!! Never been there before as well!!! Well it is at Garage Whifbitz!

DSK Posted October 15, 2009 Share Posted October 15, 2009 Unfortunately there are many places like this around and its usuall the price yuou pay for having something a bit tatsy, you risk people taking it home. If it was me, I would be looking to looking to take taht garage to the cleaners. Its one thing giving permission for someone to have a quick blast in your car but having your pride and joy mistrated without consent is a no no. When I had my M5, I went to collect it from BMW (Bridgegate) the next morning after having had a new clutch fitted, I noticed instantly the rear end felt very slightly strange as though someone had hit a kerb with it at an angle causing the geometry to be incorrect. I turned around having just left the car park and when complaining, I noticed the car had done around 50 miles overnight..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kev_A Posted October 15, 2009 Share Posted October 15, 2009 Where else can you mount the Roadhawk? Surely they'd of noticed that clagged to the windscreen when they got into the car? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
martini Posted October 15, 2009 Share Posted October 15, 2009 I really like the idea of this and I can see it being installed in future cars when they are sold - video evidence showing that you made an error when you crash into someone. It's a little big brother though, but that's the way things are going - and at least you couldn't be sued wrongfully with evidence like this. Surely that's a driving ban if they prove whom was driving? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
