Nope not a nice situation to be in. But was it the garages fault that the car caught fire or was it just a s4it car?

It's a very old car, worth about 100, electrical fault ;) we think, but the worst damage was done by the brake fluid, it's melted the fluid pot, it look's like a candle :D :D ..
customer was very.... well.....calm :eek: :eek:

Jeez, thats just the thing you want to read when you get back from dropping your 200 off for its first MOT:(:(:(:(:(:(

If Nissan set fire to my 200 then their dealership will suffer a similar fate:D:D:D:D

A mate of mine works in a rather upmarket body shop (he sprayed schumachers 93' benneton, among other things :eek: )
anyways, a bloke brings an Aston in - a DB4 or DB5 for a bit of a spray.
Anyway, my mate sprays her up, then for some reason leaves it running while he has a break. Goes back to the car, kills it, and parks it up for the customer who soon returns, approves the job and drives off into the sunset. :)
Next day, they get a phone call from the customer:
"Good morning"
"Morning Sir - was there a problem with the paint job??"
"No, not at all - the paintjob was great! The problem is in the fact that you returned the car to me with no water in it, and now its seized"
:eek: :eek: :eek: :eek: :eek: :eek: :eek: :eek: :eek:
Yep thats right, all the water had run out while he had left it ticking and he managed to knacker an Aston DB5 :rolleyes:
