Might find they actually haven't done anything at all and they are playing on the fact that you are too far away to visit, and they now have 5 weeks to get it done.
Hope I'm wrong of course!

We will find out as I have just told them I am coming to see them on Sunday as planned even if I can't collect the car

Andy let's hope your man is not like that Porsche place that caused all that chaos a while back mate.

Still causing chaos, Specialist Cars of Malton, millions missing/owed.

You'd still wonder why they waited until delivery day to mention it!

Nothing like reassuring words for a man that’s on a downer

It happens unfortunately.
When I first started work the company I worked for made stainless steel pressure vessels, always remember a unplanned visit from the client to do a final inspection. They walked onto the shop floor and they turned around to Walter, one of the old draughtsmen, and said "where is it Walter?" his reply "you are ******* stood on it" they where standing on a 6 by 3 sheet of plate!!
I've also made unplanned visits to suppliers to check up on late deliveries, to find they haven't even started fabrication when the delivery was due on that very day.

They always do it, I shouldn't be surprised just annoying - no forward planning

Jet Skis.

Noisy blighters.

Something very antisocial about them.

Also those ******* paraglider bastards. The trouble with living somewhere nice is that the swines insist on flying over it. One was being circled by a police helicopter last night. Didn't seem a fair fight!

16 year old daughter just tested positive for covid with sore throat and high temperature. She had one jab back in May.
So that's 10 days isolation for us all, again.
Work aren't going to be so happy, again.

If I catch the little **nt that stuck this gum on my wheel his skull will get embedded into my multispoke alloy and his CT scan will be worse than Schumacher after his skiing accident

Yeuch!

I once found a snail on my wheel. ****-taking little *******.

 

[Oneball]

Spearmint or Juicy Fruit?

 

[Felonious Crud]

Do snails come in those flavours? I've only ever had the garlic ones.

M6 toll road. There’s a f@cking good idea. £6:50 to add 18 minutes to your journeys. Bunch of c@nts.

Nice new badge kindly fitted courtesy of the Maserati warranty (for the 2nd time as the red inserts keep falling out!) BUT………… it’s 3mm lower on the left!!!! It looks way worse in the flesh too.

Do I go back and make a fuss or do I suck it up and just look at it when I have to make the decision to go independent or main dealer for the 3rd service next year???!!

Mark.

 

[CatmanV2]

Is it 3mm lower or is the stitching not level? Vaguely serious question....

[gb-gta]

Put a spirit level on it. Maybe it’s straight, and the rest of your interior is wonky!

Looks like the stitching is sloping down and the carbon trim sloping up.
Maybe they couldn’t decide which one to match, so they decided on neither!
