I know what you mean about the torque, I think I'm going to have to have a few kilograms of lead removed from the sole of my right shoe but even then the temptation is bound to get the better of me
On another note, when I was talking to the salesman yesterday he was telling me that some guy rocked into the yard a couple days after I left the XR6 with them as a deposit (about 4 weeks ago) and wanted to take it for a test drive. He was apparently dressed in a nice suit and tie, very business like, showed them his driver's licence, they photocopied it and off he went for a test drive. They found the car a week later only a few K's away minus the wheels. He said that the car itself looked as though it had been vacuumed and washed and everything else was untouched, the guy must have been a couple sandwiches short of a picnic (or maybe not
) he certainly did alright out of it, if he was the one that knocked them off that is. They suspect that he thought the car was his but then suddenly realised it wasn't and thoroughly cleaned it and then drove it and parked in a nice quiet street a few k's away and left it. The local hoons
probably took the rims.They were only standard BA MKII rims, although it did have brand new tyres
. They apparently asked the cops for help and it was like "well you gave him the keys what do you want us to do about it" so maybe there is a message there for anyone selling privately as well (
don't let anyone test drive your car on their own) The car yard sent a couple of the boys around to the guys home address and some old lady (probably his gran) tells them that "he know live here no more" enough said.
I'll stop there !!!!
