working on an mod site at the moment in pirbright and the contractors have been allocated a car park to park vans and cars, I was walking to my van when I noticed that one of the cars had an oil leak, I looked at the id on the car window and did not recognise the name so decided against trying to find out whos car it was as there are about 100 or so working on this site, the next day I see that he had driven the car back to work still with leak, come dinner time im sitting in my van eating my sandwiches and now I notice hes now seen the leak I wind the window down and said I saw that leak of yours yesterday how far have you driven with it? I asked from bounemouth he says , by now the leak has got worse and is making a mess on the carpark , hes phoned the rac up and started waiting, I go back to work only to get a message to say come and move my van as they are putting sawdust down in a clear up operation and its in the way, when I go back to van I heard him say to someone they are going to charge me for this clear up I thought he was joking, but on Saturday the site bosses had got pro cleaners in to clear it up, they then billed the owner of the car £1600.50 for clear up

If only you had had some sawdust in the Van=££££££££££££££ ;)
lol that wouldent have saved him they got labs to lay the sawdust most of the bill was for the pros who turned up with jet wash and stuff, and his car was written off it was the head gasket that had blown I reckon its out of order he should have been given the chance to clear it up himself theres another bloke broken down up there his vans had to stay in the carpark as he found out his breakdown service was only valid ten miles from his front door and hes all the way out pirbright in the middle of nowhere
 
A little note on his windscreen might have saved his car and a lot of money. :evil: :rolleyes:
