    as per burnzee's previous thread......this time with working pics!
    Thanks for the pics Burnzee - thought it best to start a new thread, as people would miss them on the bottom of the old one!

    Jeez, you would be effing gutted wouldn't you?

    Just read the original post, did someone say it happened at Halifax VW? If it was Lightcliffe it doesn't surprise me, they are a right shower of idiots there.

    if it was, it'd have been the guy who jacked it up most probably?

    got to give them a chance though - they did give him a new car I think i saw on the old thread. Everyone makes mistakes and it sounds like they have "corrected" it. Mistakes will always happen, cant expect everyone in the world to be perfect. If you do, you gotta ask yourself have you never made a stupid mistake?

    Shocking!! If it were my car I wouldnt want the person involved to loose there job`s but I would demand a new car :p

    I must admit Im guilty of sending a car up on a ramp similar to that with only 3 legs under! It got to the top and I thought thats abit wobbly [:$] I gingerly sent it down whilst holding on to the corner :lol:

    A few friends and family members have had dealings with them and been right royally messed about, and one of the technicians came to look at a car I was selling and proceeded to mess me about and waste my time.
