dubluke's gourmet car testing plans

I have had a genius idea enabling me to have a chance to drive various BMW's and such around for a while just for shits and giggles, I was thinking I might just get in touch with a load of gourmet car dealerships and ask for a test drive - do you think this will enable me to drive some seriously fun stuff or will they just see i'm some 20 year old scruffy shit, not take me seriously and tell me to fuck off?

It depends ENTIRELY on how you dress on the day, and speak. You'll also need fully comp insurance I think.

yeah i thought as such, figured i'd go in a suit and act all posh, act like I was some rich kid having his dad buy a nice car for him

however I don't have fully comp insurance, balls

aye the insurance is the only issue. i think you're entitled to try the cars as like a statutory right or some shite like that. just give them the whole THE CUSTOMER IS ALWAYS RIGHT YOU tnuc and they'll let you drive some motors.

who are they to know that you're not minted but you just like dressing the way you do? half of the rich folk in the world are scruffy fuckers anyway.

Yeah, they normally ask for insurance.

You'll get different results in different places, but it's not like being told no loses you anything. I once got made to show insurance details and have someone sit with me whilst I test drove a used Ford Fiesta... Toyota only wanted to see my insurance to let me fuck off with my girlfriend in a Celica and BMW didn't even ask for ID for a Z4.

Lexus are stnuc, mind.

yeah good point, also I figured that if they had any common sense they wouldn't tell me to fuck off cos, like you said, for all they know I might be minted and they would be telling a potential buyer to fuck off.

see me inside an M3 next week

Yeah, I dunno about the rights thing, but I'd imagine something like this is at their discretion. I reckon you'd need fully comp tho, otherwise it'd be illegal I think. Only option without would probably be get them to drive whilst you're sat in the passenger seat. Which, wouldn't be that fun.

I have a VW and am 23, last service I got I had a courtesy car booked, completely forgot about it, got fucking hammered the night before on a horrible comedown the day of service, they rang like "where the fuck are you", so i went down fresh out of bed looking like a fucking tramp.

The woman looked me up and down, made up some clearly bollocks excuse and was like "yeah we had a 3.0ltr passat for you today, but I think I'm going to have to give you the Polo, as there seems to hae been a mix up".

stnuc.

Sorry to ruin your idea tho

draaaaaaaaaaaaaaag you didn't get the passat!! I had a look on this site and apparantly you can drive under their insurance (although excess is high so have to be careful!) or if your insurance allows you drive other cars with owners permission (I think mine does) then that's fine.

Simon that's fucking lush they let you off with a celica unnacompanied, that's banging

I expect all they'll look at is age, insurance and possibly how long you've had your license.

gourmet cars?

are you going to be a delivery boy?

No, I didn't read the thread.

As with many things, it's all about the gift of the blag. If you have the barefaced tenacity and patter to do it... if you're a good looking chap / lady then you'll have no trouble.

edit to add: actually having said that, one of my friends used to work as a salesman selling seats on private jets to places off the beaten track for journalists, academics researchers and so on... he reckon you could always tell real money because people with real money would turn up in a rusty old land rover defender with a black Labrador in the back. I think that is good advice... if you're minted, you didn't get there by wearing bespoke suits, you know nothing different so are quite likely tobe a scruffy fucker

Suit, tie, and clean shoes is de rigeur. Run a comb thru the old mullet and adopt a slightly upper class accent.

Say your working for a car hire business and considering 'moving into' the luxury fleet market catering for teens birthday parties and such like.

Keys, car, go for it.

good idea, i'm also going to ask them if i can have an extended test drive (give em the whole - "how can you expect me to part with that much cash when i've only driven the thing for 15 minutes" bollocks) so I can get it for a half day or so

They must be fitted with some kind of tracker system, then you can get shot of knobby salesman shaperone, get serious andset off a few gatso's.
Unless of course it's an attractive looking female salesperson. Then your in son!
