2nd thread full of even more fail, he created the thread, then promptly said he's not going to post again till Monday.

Looks like he may well be printing off the threads to back his case up, maybe?

what "back up" will that provide though?

The masses agreeing with his sentiments me thinks.

I don't think the agreement of an Internet discussion forum will stand for much in court.

no, a county court wouldnt give a damn about a load of rubbish posted on a car forum, especially then they got to the "im wealthier than thou" posts

This reminds me when I told about my dads colleage, a middle aged college lecturer with an EK9 Civic Type-R. HE left his car with a main dealer for the usual service and MOT and they needed to keep it till the next day for whatever reason. Whilst walking from pub to pub early on a night out, his car blaseted past him bouncing off the rev limiter.

I think he ended up being compensated quite well, but from that I wouldn't be leaving my car overnight with a garage if I can avoid it, however the people I use at present are very trustworthy and have nicer cars than myself.

I've not read the full second link, but from reading the 1st it actually sounds fairly reasonable to me, it's one guys word against the others. It doesn't sound like he's just gone out an ragged the car from cold just because he could. I've read the first few pages of the second link, but a turbo failing in a van on the motorway doesn't automatically mean he's a plonker, unless in the later pages he says it failed because he thrashed it?

From a brief look, how does that mean he drives like a plonker, or more importantly, drove the Porsche like a plonker?

Hes had his van remapped, thrashes it (like all van drivers do) and the turbo has blown after 110k, not a biggy really.

I thrash my van, but baby my car about until its warm.

Side to every story, have heard both of them now.

If he left the car to idle to get any water out of the exhaust etc, would this impact upon the trip computer to give the low MPG which the owner was complaining about?
