Motor Trade Gold {episode 1}

Gold
(Gold)
Always believe in your soul… well thats how the song goes.

I think this is more of stress reliever to me, to show the world that we have to deal with people that just dont understand cars sometimes and even manufactures struggle to get things right. Screenshotted for your leisurely viewing.

In part one of this session:

This is me telling a company that manage vehicle fleet that the front brakes are metal to metal. Then they ask the question of ‘Do you need discs and pads’. Fuck me and blow me down, I think we do.

Second up:

Having told a chap that the front wheels are buckled and it was an MOT advisory i got the following reply: ‘Could you please give me a full breakdown / description of the meaning Buckled Wheels. As far as i know, alloy wheels cant buckle. I’m concerned as to what it actually means or how it was diagnosed, and also, if they really are buckled, how can that only be an advisory?’ I’m not sure if they thought a wheel could not buckle or just didn’t know what it meant to be buckled. Come on, sureley we’ve all buckled a bike wheel?! Since sending a video of the questionable item he is now content with what a buckled wheel is.

Thirdly, and finally for this session:

It appears that even the manufactures stuggle to get it right. ‘Brakepads’ or as Mercedes-Benz developers spelt it ‘Breakpads’. There is no more to be said.

Check back next time for more gold!
