Whilst my Impreza is being serviced, I get this...



An eye-searingly metallic pink Daihatsu Cuore'. Goes well though!

That is WELL gay

LOL! I left the side-lights on, and someone's emailed the entire local branch with the following:

"There is an awful pink Daihatsu on the car park with it’s side lights on.

In case you are in any doubt, it’s VK** WUC!"

When I started it up to make sure, I noticed the following...

On startup the dash LCD display scrolls "HELLO - HAPPY" until you actually start the car.

When you switch off the LCD display scrolls "SEE YOU - good-by".

Very quaint, (read: BIG GAY)

I had one of those once. Now either demo car of some description or i go elsewhere. Gotta take mine in Friday - wonder what i will get! Fingers crossed on WRX PPP (prolly be a Forester tho!!). Only downside is i have to put it on my insurance which costs £6.

Cool

Traumatic? I think I could try and get my service for free due to mental anguish and severe stress brought about by my courtesy car...

"Courtesy" ???? who are they trying to kid?

The nail in the coffin was my leaving the side-lights on, and that email going around the office. Everyone watched me troll along the corridor and out to the car-park to fix the problem.

It's so bloody barbie pink and bright in the sun, you can't see the lights at all!

"Hey-ho" (What a gay day...) LOL.

My service was £390!

They also noted "A knocking noise from the engine", which I couldn't remember before taking it in

Might be something to do with my K&N cone filter, which they didn't replace properly just like last time - The bloody muppets!!!! [img]images/smilies/mad.gif[/img]

So I was boned up the ****, after all...
