At Least It's Not Blue!!!

Bush Tucker Man:
I've taken the Fabia in for a spot of warranty work earlier this morning, it's decided to have a drip on the radiator, or bottom hose.

I'd asked (again) for the possible loan of a new Octavia, but told they're not available as courtesy cars

So I was queuing on the M62 & M1 at 08:20 this morning & sitting listening to Terry Wogan & praying;
"Please don't give me the 'Blue Pig' this time" [-o<

So I pulled in & did all the usual stuff, signed my life away, he check my licence for points & came back with some keys;
"Right Mr Thackeray, here's the keys for your courtesy vehicle"

I looked at the registration & glanced outside :(biglove):  :(bigwicked):
They belonged to a black vRS Octavia (not officially released yet, I don't think??)

Whoopee!!

I'd just opened the door & was about to sit down when he came out;
"I'm terribly sorry Mr Thackeray, I've given you the wrong keys!!"
"Oh, no. This WILL be perfectly adequate"
"No, I must insist, it's the Dealer Principles assessment car"
"Oh, go on, ask him nicely for me"

Sadly, I got out :cry:

And received the keys to a Fabia hatchback, with an empty tank (as always) & a radio with all the pre-sets on daft commercial radio (soon sorted,  :lol: )
I daredn't open the bonnet but it sounds like another 3-cylinder

Pictured on an pavement there......

Does that infer it drives at walking pace  :lol:

Shame about the other car, you would think that they would have let you take it, on a 'too late' basis, what has happened to customer service?

thermidorthelobster:
A friend had the opposite happen to her - took her Punto in for a service and got an M5 as a loan car.

Well, the pavement's are about 9foot wide down the side of the house.
Out there are the moment, there's;
The Discovery (lives outside, too muddy for the drive :roll: )
The Mondeo is outside (had to move it to get Fabia out of garage, no point in putting it back until our Fabia returns)
Plus this red Fabia

I think I'd ask for a replacement, couldn't stand the embarrasment of being seen in a B*W
