RE: Dealer employee suspended for driving Mercedes with bonnet up

One of the more hilarious stories I've seen, I think!

Actually quite impressed they managed this in the first place...

How unlucky is that, though? Being passed by a BBC journalist with a camera...

If only it had one of those Perspex engine covers that were popular with supercar manufacturers a few years ago...

The look on the driver's face was unbelievable, as if to say "yeah, what? Not seen this done before?". He should be banned from driving completely! Nothing in is that desperate at a dealership that they need to risk the lives of other road users..... Is it?

Why was he doing it in the first place. A jump pack is needed to start teh car, once its running it shouldn't need a jump pack connected.....

I must confess I done something similar! But used my loaf and tied the bonnet down with the only thing I had........my tie. It's what bear grills would have done. The world would be a boring place if it was not for stupid people.

Very true Dan. I think you need to start submitting your misdemeanours for our My Confession column... I have a feeling you've probably got a few tales to tell...

i was having coffee with a mate yesterday who admits to doing this if he needs to collect a car with a packed up alternator, however he put the bonnet down onto the pack and holds it with bungy cords....
