Bring out the G1mp

munckee

Took my car for its first service today.  Conversation with service chap goes as follows:

"Do you need a courtesy car" - yep

"Are you fussy what it is is" - nope as long as it gets me to work.

He stands up and gives me a grin which says 'challenge accepted Mo Fo.' and walks out the back.

I do not hear his conversation out the back but I imagine it goes like this "bring out the g1mp" "but it's sleepin boss" "well best you go and wake it up."

Here is the g1mp, when I arrived in the work car park they asked if I could move it as we are supposed to be a professional organisation.

Email the picture to my brother who replied " do NOT bring that thing round my house if you have to keep it for the weekend.

Then tell them to provide you with a car!

It looks like a fairly standard car to me? 

Sporky

Looks a lot better than the salmon-pink Aygo I had once.

Sassafras

Looks better than one of them there Smart cars.

fields5069

Looks better than the Massey Ferguson Jaguar XE I've got on hire at the moment.

Its a teeny kia picanto, I'm 6'2 and 15 stone, I nearly had to rip the seat out and sit in the back like hightower from police academy.  The colour is perhaps worse than shown in the photo!

It also advertises you as being ready to rent

Looks like they gave you a bit of a shit car in a crap colour, with a bloody great big sticker on the side of it.

I got given the garage 'run around' as my courtesy car. It was the car car used to go and collect the parts from suppliers etc. 

It had had one of the plastic seat covers that mechanics use on every seat. I was told, best not to remove them. You won't want to get back in it. 

Now that was a heap.

Apparently you have to really p1ss them off to get the run around!

@axisus you sir are a comedy genius!

I got lumbered with a Citreon C1 as a courtesy car once.

Was quite fun, short wheelbase and all that, they are just cars after all.

They gave me a new Nissan Micra as a courtesy car whilst our Qashqai was being serviced and I have to say it was a blast, very chuckable and as snug a fit as new trainers 

Alnico

Black bin bag cut to size and some gaffer tape?
