If anyone has ever had a loan did you find yourself driving long distances just because you did not own the car?

Well one of our customers Radek drove from poland to scoobyclinic in his lovley classic for some mods well 427bhp's worth of mods but anyway when he got here we found that Radeks car would need to be with us for about a week so rahter than stay in hotels over here Radek decided to go home. He tried to get a flight but with no joy so we offered him a loan car!

So off he popped to poland in one of our trusty loan cars a 1995 1.8 gl impreza wagon!



And guess what.....................













He's just arrived back in the trusy wagon after 2300 faultless miles 3600km awsome!


Go Radek and the trusy red wagon N335 still going strong!

loan cars rock!!

thats dedication for ya . hope he fulled her up

go wagon go

 

LOL class. We loaned a Zafira to go Scotland in (Was meant to be a vectra), Didn`t fancy 4 up plus lugage in the scooby! Managed 1500 miles in a week, not quiet Poland but not bad going.

 

**** me, thats dedication, it makes my 100 mile round trip to scoobyclinic laughable!! hope his impreza lasted the journey back to poland!

 

makes my 1000 miles in 3 days seem a little poor really.

 

Just under 4000, toured the west coast of the US and Canada

 

3600 miles over 4 days, car was a 56 Passat TDi on loan from VW.

 

rafpmsl, the wagons been to poland now? pmsl, thats quality

 

Just this year I rounded up 1,900 in a VW Passat for the first accident.

And 3,200 in a BMW 3 series after the second crash.

All paid for by the third party insurance company.

80k in a fleet car from work.. Used to drive everywhere in it.. drove from Fort William to heathrow in one day (had soemthing on). done a few round trips between heathropw and wales in the day as i was borred and wanted sex!!

 

How far have i been in a loan car?

All the way baby!! (well why stain the seats in the Impreza?)

5t.

 

so you have no girls in Swansea then

 

I dont know about distance, but I have always found loan cars to be the fastest ever

 

That is some dedication. Well it was worth it.

 

Just sheep I believe... maybe he wanted sex with another human

 

About 2500 miles in a rental car in the US.

San Francisco to Oklahoma, via LA, Vegas and Grand Canyon.

 

We used a Ford Escort estate from Hertz as an RAC Rally support barge many years ago. What a state that was in when we finished with it but a quick touch-up with some underseal and fresh paint on one wing got our deposit back!

 

Lol I had a misses, and didn't wanna cheat on here.. How naive was I

Would drive back home for sex hehe, got bored of it after a while sacked the misses and started nocking off the local bar maid instead

 

about 2000 miles on a rented honda Goldwing 1500cc aspencade around the great lakes in Canada .Fantastic touring bike.

Bloody hell, good stuff mate! I think I saw that car up there the weekend before last, noticed the Polish plates and thought it was a bit far from home! SC goes international

 

pmsl, ads, get some pics up of said mighty wagon

 

Loan cars, seem to have very poor fuel consumption.

I was getting 27mpg from a 1.25 Fiesta

It seems to lack 4WD grip and kept hitting the rev limiter, naughty little thing!

4000 miles in 3 weeks.

 

I think we did about 8000 in a demonstrator after the dealer cocked up the order on the wifes X3, and the wrong spec turned up twice... took them about six months to get it right!

I don't think they expected it to take so long, or for us to do so many miles

 

didnt get very far with my first loan car. when the scoob was being repaired in april, i got my hands on a 2000 mile old 07 plate 2.0tdi passat.

11 days later, i blew the turbo up.

replacement was a 2.0 mazda 3 with a supposed 6000rpm limit. i had it off 8k all day long once i realised there wasnt a turbo kicking in at 3k

 

What about the shortest distance in a loan car?
I was having a bumper resprayed last year, they offered me a courtesy car......... a brown Y reg vauxhall cavalier auto witha feeble company logo on the door. I looked at it, thought about it for about a second then politely declined.
The boss then tried to persuade me to take it by telling me it was gratis!!!!
I made my excuses and left to get a taxi. Thank goodness I had the wife's car to use.
Oddly enough the repainted bumper was a great job

 

I took a golf plus from the netherlands to germany, round the ring and back. It went into limp home mode about 1/2 way round and never really drove right after that
