Oh, incidentally, we've got some 295/25 20 Michelin Pilot Sports in today. Wonder what they're for ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CIH Posted January 7, 2009 Author Report Share Posted January 7, 2009 I actually saw a V35 Skyline today, for the first time. They're for a 635i on Schnitzer wheels. Would you care to know how much they're going to cost ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tony Posted January 9, 2009 Report Share Posted January 9, 2009 One of the other fitters did it as the car was in on my day off. How did he get on?...... We had some in a few weeks back where another company "jawed out" on the face of some 22" chrome wheels..... twice and stuffed them both Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rich Posted January 9, 2009 Report Share Posted January 9, 2009 IMO you will never be able to fit a tyre without marking the rim in some way no matter how careful you are. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just for ammo in case your in a area manager/ fitter argument about RFT's.... The BOSS uses up to three ton's of pressure to fit the BMW RFT's so how the bloody hell can you do this with tyre levers?!? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CIH Posted January 25, 2009 Author Report Share Posted January 25, 2009 Nah. I'll give my boss his due he does his best to "shield" us from upper management when things head south. Did I ever tell you about the time I bumped an Audi(s) in the car park ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CIH Posted January 26, 2009 Author Report Share Posted January 26, 2009 I was backing out of the tyrebay in IIRC an Audi A8. A fairly large limo with air suspension anyway. Looking over my right shoulder positioing the car upagainst the barrier. Kind of like parallel parking, but with the carpark entrance directly behind me. So there's a bump and I 'm thinking I've hit the barrier. It was another Audi, an A4, that had pulled in and stopped at the middle of the entrance of the car park. It was my fault of course, as I had hit him and wasn't looking, but (!) I had no idea why he had stopped there and had simply waited and watched me back into him. Never occured to me there would have been another driver hiding in my blind spot. Anyway, A4 needed a wing, bumper etc. A8 wasn't so much as scratched phew!

Tony Posted January 26, 2009 Report Share Posted January 26, 2009 Oh well it happens.... Shame it was really the idiot Audi drivers stupid parking that caused the crash rather than your lack of observation. Did the AM understand or does he have a figure of you he sticks pins into on a regular basis Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CIH Posted January 27, 2009 Author Report Share Posted January 27, 2009 Nah I think he's ok. Just as well as "Plan A" is usually to ship off unwanted staff to other depots amd it's not like DSP600's are common..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
