Default Just dropped the car off!!

Ive just dropped the car off at the body shop to get the paint work sorted (door handles, side skirts, back quarters colour coded and the roof/A pillars repaired where i knackered them taking the wind deflectors off!! )
Is it just me or does everybody hate leaving their car with a garage/bodyshop.
I have visions of some spotty faced apprentice driving it around the nearest Tesco carpark tonight with all of his mates in the back
Ive checked the mileage and have got to pick it up on Wednesday evening.
Hope they make a good job of it!!

When mine went into a bodyshop, I put the boost pipe from the turbo straight onto the wastegate actuator, it only boosted about .5 bar, ideal!! and when I picked it up, it had only done .4 mile anyway, and that was what it must have between paintshops!!

I know what you mean, a guy where I used to work was always being picked up by a friend for lunch in different cars (his mate worked for a audio elctrical place) they were always ranting the nuts off the hi end cars!!!!!
