Steve, 32, rating 1, Brisbane, BMW insurance $635. I think RACQ was about $550, but then you pay for quality ;-)

Mike, you've gotto be kidding about camping out with the S. Staying out over night down there in Canberra, and all your apendages would drop off it's so cold

Andy.

I unscrew the antenna each time to put the cover on, takes 2 seconds.

Ahhhh!! The buggers have changed it back to still in Sydney. They're playing me like a kitten and a ball of wool.

Must remain poised.......calm.....must not get paranoid about the time I told TNT to stick their threat of legal action when they lost my PC and I refused to pay a higher price for the return journey of my PC packed in 2 packages when two weeks prior I had sent the same PC packed in three.
I actually threatened them to charge with loss of productivity and mishandling. They eventually found it - "I'm sorry Sir, the box was upside down and we couldn't see the address" Well Hellooooooo - thats what "This Way Up" sticker are for!

Bloody TNT...mutter, mutter, mutter......

I'm sorry to mention this again, but my car was less than 10km from my house for THREE WEEKS before it got into my hands

Harry Morant · May 3rd, 2003, 12:34 PM

Eeeep! and why was that? Tell me it sat for two weeks on the dock and not three weeks at the dealer.

That's pretty close, alright. Two weeks on the dock, and then one week at the dealer.
