Getting very seriously pissed completely off with this whole scenario now.
The car is still in bits in my 'mates' garage.
I pleaded with him to have it back for last Friday.
Needless to say..........
Getting loads of grief....justifiably for once i feel.....off Mrs G with regard to the time it's all taking.
So, I went in to see him today.
He and his mother are both very prickly characters to deal with, but having known him for so long (his workmanship IS actually 1 st class...when he actually gets around to doing it
) I didn't want to go in there with all guns blazing, but i did show my concern that this has now been going on for nearly 4 weeks.
He claims that fitting the new chassis leg is proving very difficult, and he keeps getting bombarded by mot requests, but he 'hopes' to get the job completed this week....like last week...and the week before.
In a nut shell, I'm stuffed, and entirely in his hands now.
The more I complain I feel, the slower he's going to go.
The car's in bits, so it's not even as though I can say "stuff you, I'll take it somewhere else even.
He'd just shrug his shoulders and say " help yourself then". I know what he's like.
WTF am I going to do.
.
GROWLER TOP TIP...NEVER use someone you are chummy with to fix your car, as they'll always think that you won't kick off and go as slow as they want.
