Been following this thread but only watched the video a few minutes ago. Worse than I initially thought. Definitely aiming for the potholes.. Steve.

 

Still going, well I personally think there is no meat left on the bones of this subject, the main offender is out of a job, Scooby clinics reputation is in tatters and the injured party has had his revenge and got a payday out of it according to some.

All is well with the world, power of the media and internet has been proven.

 

Personally im made up for the OP , karmas a bitch

 

Did sc accept offer of notice or is he still a employee

 

Proof of sacking of the **** who drive into potholes ?

Don't believe he has been, do we know who the test driver was ?

Probably given a week off until it blows over

 

That was my question earlier too, it hasn't been entirely clear, he has tendered his resignation, but it has to be accepted

 

Going self employed apparently, fill the gap in the market where SC used to be....

 

Boring now like

 

Of course they've left. Kev won't be able to afford to employ them anymore .

 

Monstermash are you a sc customer or employee

 

Customer pal ive been there plenty of times but. I wonder does any of the keyboard heroes on here have the guts to personally state these things

 

The point is that your Subaru is actually pretty tough. The key word in the acronym LSD is SLIP.

 

Thats fine that your a happy customer as alot of others will be but surely you must see what the driver did was wrong i feel sorry for other employees

 

Nice tractor mate

 

I totally see and yes it's wrong but last time I visited the clinic there were approximately 14 guys employed so is it fair to the others to tar them all with the same brush ?

 

Personally if I captured footage like that of a friend driving my car in that manner I would be gobsmacked. A stranger I pay good money to and trust for their good reputation etc etc, I would be absolutely gutted, angry etc..

If that was your dashcam footage, no matter how you handled it, how would you honestly feel? For example, if it was me driving your car?

Not forgetting that his reply pretty much dismisses it.. Legal reasons or not, it will cost him more than it would have to just look after the fella

 

no mate its not fair on good employees as some might end up out a job through this hope it doesnt come to that

 

I'm a farmer. Although believe or not, it's not my daily driver .

 

If you read between the lines if the reply it seems it's just their attitude. It stinks.. I said before in my comments that I was sure the video wasnt going up depending on how it was handled, then he replied with that. Wonderful

 

Honest answer I would have demanded that I saw the main man who pays the wages and show him in front of the offending persons in Wich I'd demand a full refund and an apology to start then I would expect full action to be employed be it a formal written warning or be it the sack I'm the type of guy who would help anyone it's not my in my nature to go around spoiling people's lives as I've mentioned the other employees who are totally innocent including Kev as he wasn't driving the car but from what I've read he didn't hang around long enough to give him a chance to deal with the problem so what's he to do sit tight being basically blackmailed this guy obviously craves the attention of the cyber world his car was driven In a manner that was out of order but imo and im untitled to it he has done the company unnecessary harm but the haters will hate wonder how many of these haters have had credit from the clinic but like they say today's news tomorrow's trash so good night I'm going to sort are lass out 😉

 

Just watch the pot holes if you take her up the dirt track...

 

I would say the key word is LIMTED...

Yes they are tough, but they have their limits. The auto boxes have a different system than the vLSDs in the centre of the manuals though, they're probably better able to handle it?

No idea about the autos, but running an Impreza on an MOT rolling road brake tester will not break it. If I thought it would, I wouldn't buy one!

 

Incidentally, I've had customers who have insisted that I drive over potholes when looking for clonks, knocks and bonks. They have also asked me to drive over 100 mph then slam the brakes on (I refuse) and I have also learnt not to let them drive me on road tests as some of them are STARK STARING BLOODY MAD!

 

I was once foolish enough to rag my mums Jetta down a track, not as potholed as that one, but at speeds of up to 60 mph once, when I were a yoof. I then pulled out onto a major A road dual carriageway and got it up to speed, and the throttle decided that it would stick wide open, leaving me to stamp hard on the brakes which didn't slow it down much, so then had to knock it into neutral and turn it off, before it blew up, whilst still travelling at a fair old lick.

A rally car is built to handle it, and the occupants know the risk. We've all seen the state of wheels and tyres that come off a rally car. Imagine someone treating your car like that, then unbeknown to you, you put your wife and kids in the car and something fails, like the example above. I was lucky, it was early hours of the morning and there was no traffic on the road.
