*** Motor factors

[Snoop]

Don't believe what I just saw outside my house (which is just off a T-junction - which is relevent...).

A delivery van for a local motor factors pulled up at the entrance to our drive and reversed in at an angle. It spent quite a while just sat there as if waiting for something. It seemed a bit strange so I went out to see if there was something up when just as I did so, an astra flew into the T-junction with it's arse out and immediately performed a handbrake turn - so virtually in the entrance to the T-junction. This is on wet roads and no streetlighting so he would not have been able to see or respond if anyone was in the way. Anything could have been coming and anyone crossing the road or walking on the pavement opposite would have been hit. At first I thought someone had lost control of the car turning in on the wet road and that it was about to go spinning through the fences opposite.

As soon as the Astra did the manouver the van ripped up and shot off with the Astra in tow.

I happen to be going past the place tomorrow and will definately be calling in to give them some $$$$ over this .

However, I do need some brakes for the wifes focus so maybe I can swing a deal?!

do Halfords have Astras (pass the bucket)?

[Snoop]

lol it wasn't Halfords - though I'm always giving them $$$$ anyway!

This is a Sussex firm I'd never heard of before that only has three stores locally. Wish I'd been able to read the reg before he shot off.
