Chris`I Posted May 6, 2008 Share Posted May 6, 2008 Did your Dad not note the milage before he left? I always do when I leave my car with anyone to make sure they havent driven it. Sounds to me like hes been for a cheeky test drive! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rob_Quads Posted May 6, 2008 Share Posted May 6, 2008 I would have kept the keys myself. Always prefer to park it myself and know its not moved than give it to any 'valet' style place Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bronzee Posted May 7, 2008 Share Posted May 7, 2008 That's a pretty brazen cheek really. If it were me I wouldn't be happy. What if he'd had an accident. Oh sorry. I'm with Rob and Stuey on this one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zedrush Posted May 7, 2008 Share Posted May 7, 2008 thats a bit cheeky, reminds me when I left my old 350z with a garage to look at my boot as wouldnt open, as I went back to collect I saw my car taking a round about at some speed, when I got to the garage my car obviously wasnt there so I had it out with the owner at how fuming I was It took them two brand new rear tyres as an apology to calm me down, never again Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zummertor Posted May 7, 2008 Share Posted May 7, 2008 Well cheeky ! I used to use valet parking at airports, and always checked mileages one trip saw 68 miles put on the car and everything in the boot was all over the place. Never again !

H5 Posted May 7, 2008 Share Posted May 7, 2008 Nobody drives my car. Wont even let Nissan test drive when servicing without me present. +1 Remember when I was younger my mate's Dad had an M5, and I was walking through the town centre. I heard tyre screaching and saw it come round the 90 degree corner on opposite lock with a BMW technician at the wheel. Not too intelligent.....

N1SM0350z Posted May 7, 2008 Author Share Posted May 7, 2008 it was the coupe he said he always wantyed one but could never justfy buying one and having driven it now no's he doesnt want one. it wasnt a valet type place jus sum bloke house/farm i think so was just parked there, and if he hadnt left the keys then it wuldnt really be any good as a deposit because you could make off with both cars.
