brilliant idea. but seems like a scam to get a new car to me.

Hasnt this been done loads and loads of times but with different stuff? Person creates website, sells poor merchandise

Gaijin · 13 Jul 2006 at 20:32

Why in all the times that he has had problems has he not consulted trading standards or had legal advice. Its almost as if he wants the trouble to continue. Reducing the car to a cube will achieve nothing.

Violent-J · 13 Jul 2006 at 20:35

He won't be getting any of my hard earned money I tell you that.

Dup · 13 Jul 2006 at 20:45

The fact he has put adverts on his website puts me off completely with all the attention this get from the press.

It's just another one of those fads, but one of the first big ones to be done in the UK, hence the fuss.

We've had smash my Ipod, Xbox etc etc. We've had smash my Viper too, they wanted to raise £1 million for a business. They sold pixel advertising space on the site. Bigger donations attacted the oppertunity to damage their dodge viper.

I'm just jealous I didn't think of this first. I have no doubt the car is that rubbish and that lights does need to be shed on shoddy manufacturers these days, but couldn't this be done in court?!

"Mr Fell-Crook" - almost as good as "Ben Scammel"

Hes wants a brand new car, to replace something that has done nearly 30k miles. He needs his head testing.

a) For buying a Peugeot
b) For trying this.
c) For refushing the offer of having an ex-company vehicle.

Sounds like a attention whore, like Megzy.

Having owned a 307, I feel for him I really do.

But, he should crash it through the dealers front window and call it quits.

*Sigh*
Yes - all 307's are rubbish.
*Sigh*
His own fault for buying a French car
*Yawn*....

*Edit*
16k - They saw him coming!!
How the hell did he pay 16k for a 307?
Did he wait until the salesman had finished taking the book price, doing the usual round of knocking money off and then say:
"Actually no, I'd like to pay you a load more money for that car than the price you've just offered me".

Well on the upside i know i'll never be buying a new/nearly new pug and having to deal with the incompetant dealer service when it comes to warranty claims and the like.

Reason 103 NOT to buy a french car.

Only if you stop equally stupid statements like 'All French cars are crap period'.

Dont push the button Gilly - i told you before you are one of the cool guys on my cool wall!

I am basing my statement of calling french cars crap because of various survey that comes out and clearly the french cars are always at the bottom most times. hence it wont be too far fetched for me to say so.

DannyDan · 14 Jul 2006 at 14:27

So what happens if he doesnt reach £13k by Jan 07? Does he pocket the money and keep the car?

Maybe he will still go ahead with the crushing and keep/donate the money....

Abyss · 14 Jul 2006 at 14:40

the website states if he doesn't reach the money he needs it will all go to charity...

How does that mean all French cars are crap?

Thats like saying all Nigerian rappers are rubbish, because all (read: one) of the ones I've encountered were

I see your point, perhaps "all" of them aint rubbish but they tend to come bottom of various surveys. Can you explain to me as to why that is?
