6 and a half years what a joke

ajamesc

sums up the sort of little twats you get working in kwik fits!

Cossie Sean

really?

do you know anyone that works there?

Cossie Sean

i dont condone what happened at all, but if you were out in your car and the same accident happened would you beg for life imprisionment?

its PURELY the name of the company you got a problem with IMO

670+ centres, 10-20 staff per centre, everyones now a twat thats on their payrole because of 1 mans actions?

ask ANY mechanic in any garage who`s took a customers car for a drive when it wasnt needed

moron

16vzetec

i used to work near where that bloke lived, terrible terrible accident, feel so sorry for the kid

callums

The question is why would you be taking a customers car for a drive when not needed.
Can't afford one or just to rag the arse of it

Cossie Sean

it goes on, and it will keep going on throughout the country at most garages.

how many escort cosworths, skylines, RS4`s etc etc etc are destroyed because theve been test driven when not necisary?

like i said i DO NOT condone, nor am i sticking up for the guy from Kwik Fit, but i know so many good lads up north and down here who do work there, and for them to be tarred with the same shitty brush for no reason than the name on their paycheque is insane

ajamesc

No but was very tempted to commit a murder after one of the fools at basingstokes kwik fit totally fucked the center cap on one of my rondel alloys as he thought as it is nut shaped he would un screw it with a large pair of grips

Cossie Sean

so all builders are sexist, fat arsed, un educated, sloppy grease dripping bacon sandwitch munching, white van driving, tea slurping, brush pushing wasters?

everyone remembers bad experiences and never the good

ajamesc

The moron is the tyre fitter with no business taking the car out of the car park! hes not a porsche tec road testing it like he would with most cars he works on just some guy who fault nice porsche i wonder how fast that is!

ajamesc

As his boss tryed to tell me it was an easy mistake to make as it dose look miss leading (key lock easy to see) it dident really inspire confidence in the others that worked there iver

Cossie Sean

Well i hope the fucker gets gang raped by the biggest bastards in the jail.

2 arseholes that should be made to suffer great deals of pain and misery at the hands of vicious evil brutes who care not for the painful screams of their victims.

TBH, I have been to 3 different Kwik Fit centres in my time, and have only ever been greeted by fcuking MORONS. Staright out of college dicks who I have had to tell what to do, or old nobs that have been sacked from the bike rack at halfords.

There may be the odd good lad at some of these garages, but I am yet to see them

GVK.

Difference of two forums. PH more interested in spelling mistakes and punctuation.

They'd have a fucking field day on here.

rs_traynor

wankers deserve life.

life 4 a life... fuckin paps!

feel sorry for the family and friends of the wee boy

Madgit

One has to get one's priorities in order.

Madgit

Have to say my experience of Kwik Fit has never been good, they recently moved and took over the branch of Tyre Sales near me. Don't bother going there anymore even thought the Tyre Sales lads are still there as well, the manager from KF works there as well and he is a real stuck up twunt, thinks he's the bees' knees.

nope, they just always have been.

saph4be

Take it you work for them?

They do seem a use less lot I afraid a couple off there lads come to a place I worked and they were just gash!

Yes PH members tend to take a pride in their use of the English language.

However they don't seem to be discussing spelling and punctuation. It's more a case of how the driver was labelled?

And they will probably get out in half that time,fucking joke.

tarry500

Do you live in Basingstoke? I have only ever seen one Cossie there.

ajamesc

yes i do and i can think of 8

tarry500

I used to live there, moved about a year ago and ever only seen one when i worked for Webbers and a old chap who worked for Honda showed up in his Saff one day.

Fordmad!

Im afraid if they killed my lad id be serving 2 life sentences after id cut both of their heads off!!

As for kwik fit, ive never been there, never heard 1 good thing about them so i'll stay away i think!

RC4

exactlythat is a porsche forum this is a ford sierra (among others)forum (as in i think they would have a field day in here)

RS500/364

But can not be his fault 100% as ALL JOBS are meant to be 2nd checked !
that is there policy and sackable !

6 1/2 years is a lot......

It's not like he woke up in the morning wanting to murder someone

I think we all do stupid things but this ended up in sadness

hynes67

Life for a life that's the way it should be

My uncle was killed a 40ton lorry hit him head on the driver fell asleep my uncle was in a van and the bloke got 18mths that's it.... the system is bullshit

The poor boy had his whole life ahead of him and now taken away just because some cock with no brain wanted to have a spin in a car of all the people I've met at kf are as much use as a chocolate tea pot

My thoughts go out to the family

~nomad~

iTrader: (4)

Did you read the story? It wasn't because of an error working on a car that the kid died.

Beach

To be honest you cant judge every mechanic at kwick fit by this, my cousin trains people and runs a quickfit training center i know for sure he's no twat he's been a mechanic all his life and knows the score. Theres idiots where ever you look but its unfair to judge every single fitter they have by this. The kid is at fault but that could have easily been a lad who works for a valeting company or any business where peo[ple leave there cars and trust they wont be abused.

I persoanlly wouldnt take my car there as i have friends who i trust that fit my tyres and i do the mechanic stuff myself.

Feel sorry for the poor boys family and at the end of the day his actions resulted in the death of an innocent person, 6 years to me seems like he got of lightly IMO

coleman

He'll serve 39 months minus 4.5 months if he's gets Tag. More than likely get Cat D'd after 24 months aswell.

Kam B

you cant get shitter than a kwik fit fitter..

Voice of reason ^

Additionally, how many of you have had near misses with pedestrians or other road users through driving fast / badly?

Bunch of hypocrites on here

I think the sentence is appropriate, and so did a judge who gave out the sentence. Sad for the lad and his family, but also a shame that what started as a laugh for the fitters has ruined their own lives as well.

JonnyBravo

Totally agree.

danneth

No one will admit to this, everyone on here drives like an angel.

Sad for both sides would hate to lose a child like this at such a young age when it could have been avoided, but at the same time the guy in question now has to live with what he has done, he could have been a really nice guy who had one moment of madness and now its ruined his life and the other familys.

Fordmad!

I think emotion would take over me, all reason and sense would go out the window if they killed my lad by fucking about in somonelses car! Id hate to think what id do, hopefully never in that position!

People on here saying them lads have ruined their own lives by 6 years in prison, what a load of shit!! They are still alive and well and will serve half their sentence and be out!
