Guess the courtesy car (updated with the rest of the story)
tiltboy:
Hope it's better than my recent experience!
A couple of weeks ago the 110 TD5 that I use through work went into
Ashcrofts for a new 5th gear and they offered me an L reg Cavalier in white with no central locking, banger racing battle scars and an interior resembling a skip!
They felt my sense of humour fail. :twisted:

oh Jake old chap you would park in the less classy end of the m-c pitch at Bling. See if you'd parked behind mine i'd a made a proper job with the NATO hitch. Still thats what karma gives you for taunting people with that pulse dvd all weekend ;)
BTW - non franchised garage - anything cheap they've to hand,
franchise - elderley clapped out freelander or a fiestaery type thing.
Terminus:
I once got offered a Fiat Chincechento (sp) as a courtesy car - needless to say I declined whilst laughing as saying 'you have to be kidding I'm 6 foot!'
I phoned the insurers and said I'm not using their recommended garage's courtesy car I'll hire one and they can pay - to which they grudgingly agreed.
The irony is all of the car rental places nearby were almost out of cars due to a busy week and all they could offer was ---- a ford Ka
Just wasn't my day :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:
Thrasher:
It will be a Freelander - you don't even get a Range Rover when you OWN one as a courtesy car! (i.e. they don't carry them as courtesy - and who could blame them!)
Secondly.....they don't tend to fit courtesy cars with tow bars .... so I'll be surprised if you get one of them too......
However, you could be really really unlucky and get a D3 ....
Thrasher:
...and while I remember! Adrian Flux would not insure a D3 as a courtesy car for Piglet....claim was "courtesy car worth too much". So ... um.... depending on your insurance company, they won't push out a 60-70k car when you're insured loss is the value of Challenger.....
