Topic: When did a courtesy car become a hire car?
Replies: 7
Views: 1387

My local main dealer has never charged me for the use of a courtesy car, I always drive away in something 'interesting' and last time there was no charge for work that, strictly speaking, was not covered by warranty.
Hey! How lucky am I ? :)

I loved every minute of that Maldives Blue ragtop. A two week, three thousand mil...

My prayer for 2011

Dear God,

All I ask for in 2011 is a big fat bank account and a slim body.

Amen

The two events could be totally unconnected! I had soaking wet carpet in my last Z4, the problem was down to a failed 'door membrane' this a plastic sheet inside the door which should direct rainwater out, when it fails.......... you get wet carpets! Worth a look.
