Talking classic line from the garage!!!
Oh my god ive just been fed a classic line by the garage doing the service on my car!!!

He just phoned me up and said that the car was in need of new front tyres soon which is fair enough. He then proceeded to give me a quote on some Michelins with the reasoning that they are French tyres because it’s a French car!!! I just said is that right!? I was gonna ask him if he did some welsh ones as I live in wales but I just told him to leave it and I would get a quote elsewhere!!



He must think I was born yesterday!!

I hear that they can add garlic to the oil to make run like a PROPER french car.

So does it not worry you that you are trusting someone to service your car who does not even know where it was made?

I think I would be in panic mode by now!

Probably looking for a French Kiss for French Tyres on a French Car

I LOVE the bollox these people speak sometimes - you do, however, see the ***** on here talking the same crap! So we are not immune to DickSpeak!
