They've had a go at KwikFit.

They've had a go at Mini and VOSA.

Next weeks it's Halfords turn.

Edited to add

I wonder if we'll be seeing phaetonott on telly (with his natural good looks blurred out) s11266

Not me baz657, I didn't get past the audition stage.

However there are plenty of staff members who haven't got a clue what they are talking about who will be there to dig themslves a deeper hole

Maybe their big bucks "further representations" had something to do with it again.

I was feeling a bit stupid. . . . . Looking forward to watching it and then forgot it was on. Tried to find it on Iplayer and couldn't see it. Does this meen I've been combing my hair all week and there weren't hidden cameras in every car I tested?

I wonder if they have got better lawyers! Personally I think that it's just lazy journalism, it's hardly big breaking news is it "Garage/MOT station/car manufacturer/VOSA isn't as good as they would like/have some doggy staff"

Mind you, after seeing them springs you may be right ivor
