Not a particularly surprising event or outcome.

A spokesman for the garage said: "The lads went on a test drive with
the car and they decided to kill two birds with one stone and go and
get their dinners.

"When I saw the dashcam footage I pulled the lads into the office
and went ape with them.

"The apprentice has been sacked because of his attitude and the
mechanic is on a final written warning and he is not allowed to do
test drives anymore."

Guy ar local garage welded a bit on my mustang and according to the
odometer he took it for a ten mile test drive......

Quite right too. He had to make sure it wasn't going to fall off,
stupid.
totly agree .

I shouldn't have used him after I found out he loved
Mustangs....professionals shouldn't be interested or make a hobby of
what they work with in the same way as I worked in Building control but
had no interest in Buildings......

That’s completely mad. I would never employ anyone
who had no interest in the work they would be doing.

But are unlikely to take as much interest in that field.

but still have no interest in the things they deal with...

Very unlikely to be anything like as competent
as those who have in interest the work they do.
