Unhappy

... dropped car off for service this morning, 30000 mile service, and feel lost

Keep looking into the office car park to see if its still there, panic, then remember it is being serviced

Oh well 4 hours and i will have it back

tick, tok, tick, tok, .... ..

You think you've got problems.

My 2000 Turbo has gone back as a trade in at the dealer against a new STi PPP and I've got to wait until July! The sweetener was an extra £grand on the trade-in but at the moment I'm tottering around in my sister in law's Fiat Cinquecento (I asked her where the clutch was and she said "Lewisham").

service wait is nothing....try waiting a week to get a new bumber and rear light put on and the rear wing re-sprayed on an STi8.

i gave Subaru a piece of my mind when the car was returned with some excess speeding recorded on the turbo timer (obviously by one of their guys! [img]images/smilies/mad.gif[/img]). i mean the culprit in question must have been a complete dick not to know what the turbo timer does. the car only has 3,000 miles on the clock and so isn't quite run in, anyway they said they'd discline the guy and give me a free wax job (for the car) but I squeezed them for a free second service instead....

Free second service is far better, i mean which bloke wants their legs waxing

Having been through a 4 week wait while engine is rebuilt on my 1st scoob, and a 4 week wait between no 2 and 3, today still felt like an age.

Every time i looked out the window at work, i thought, whos nicked me car.

Picked the old lad up at 5 today, and we had a sensible journey home
