Halloween and cars

[Robocop]

Went to collect one our hire cars today from Bristol. Some helpful soul had poured a whole bucket of wall tile adhesive all over the car, which has now set like concrete.

Charming people about eh. At least it was on the customers own insurance and not ours.

The had even left the empty container under the car.

[stijoy]

how the F*ck do you get that off

[Robocop]

I don't know to be honest. I'm guessing it will have to be resprayed. It's on the roof, back door, boot, 1/4 panel and bumper.
The car is a silver 55 plate Skoda Octavia, which before anyone says anything, drives exceptionally well despite the badge.

Perhaps we can get someone in on YTS and chip it off with a toffee hammer.

[stijoy]

thats why the police like them so much for unmarked cars

[Robocop]

It's a diesel as well. 236 ft lb of torque and a 6 speed box.
I overtook a lad in a Nissan Sunny GTiR (or whatever they're called). He was suprised to say the least when I then carried on past an indicated 125mph and even flashed his lights as I turnt off in recognition.

I got a big drill, Robocop !

Can I keep the Skoda afterwards ? I'll give it to 1mposter or Spikey when they come to Finland.

Would you believe it, the "customer" is now refusing to accept responsibilty for the damage as he's saying when he finished with it at 7pm last night, it was ok.

[The Swede]

I always have to bring the car nicely back to mr Hertz who checks it before I am allowed to run off !

[The Swede]

Fortunately, they never check the state of the tyres !

The problem is account customers who you have to offer home delivery for anytime.
