I will tell you what happened, The guy took it for an hour long test drive thrashing and abusing it, my wife was that concerened she phoned me and asked where we were as she thought we had ditched it. on the test drive he was hitting the faders in all the gears, i wasnt impressed and told him if he drove it like that it wouldnt last long. The car had just undergone a top end overhaul and was dynod and running sweet. we parked it up in the garage and the milage was taken and the car never moved until he picked it up. As the guy left me and the wife stood outside and although the car had gone out of sight we could hear the car hitting the faders as he drove off the estate. I turned to the wife and said he will wreck it. The next time i see the car is pictures off it getting ragged up and down the straight at santa pod. Plus when he sold it it had been debadged, all the carbon fiber splitter, hockey sticks etc had been painted over. Any one who knows me will tell you that car was well looked after and wanted for nothing. The guy phoned me and he was at Tebay which is 50+ miles away from my house to say it was knocking. Now as you can imagine if he had caused the damage he had done on the test drive it would have been me with a bill for £4.5k would it not. surely i cant be blamed if a big end bearing went, was only the head that was o/h.
