A rant

Had some tw*t of a presenter in to day with some sort of stupidly modified supra. Must of spent all lot of money on it as it had Lamborghini doors and a wing that wouldn't look out of place on an F1 car. Unfortunately he hadn't spent any of his money on looking after the important bits. He had decided to stay and watch the test.

Presenter - I've had my car tested here for the past 7 years and its never failed, it only comes here to get tested then goes back in the garage.

First checked the lights, couldn't see any sidelights so I asked him if there was anything special about them.

Presenter - Oh you won't see them because of the things on the lamps (headlamp masks). You won't find the fog light either because its an import.

He was right no fog light but the switch was there. No tell tale either. Headlamp image was non existent. No airbag light or handbrake light. Washers don't work.

Presenter - It just needs water

So I get a watering can and fill them up. Still don't work. The other tester is still on the ramp so I decide to do the emissions test.

Presenter - It won't pass that, its been de-catted.

Again, he was right. At this point I asked him how long ago it was de-catted.

Presenter - Was like that when I bought it sever years ago. It's always passed. Don't tell me your gonna f**king fail it?

When I told him everything I had found so far, that really pi**ed him off.

Presenter - It's been the like this since I bought it and always passed. Why are you being such a d**k? Just pass it.

At this point I had enough and an argument ensued with the outcome being that he wanted to cancel the test and take the car away. I abandoned the test and put in all the faults I had found. When I gave him the refusal he didn't say anything but you could tell he was pi**ed that I had put all the fails so far on it.

What the f**k do these people think the MOT is? A joke? I'm sorry but your sh**ty suped up import isn't worth me loosing my smart card over.

Needless to say we won't be seeing that customer ever again but I'm sure the business won't miss his yearly 30 quid.
