#1: World Record for THE world's most dumbest thing Author: EDP407, Location: Melksham, WiltshirePosted: Sat Oct 02, 2010 7:16 am ---- Ok... so prepare to point the finger with shame.
Last night I went to assist a friend whos corsa's battery was flat. Hooked up the jump leads to the 1.6 206 laon car I currently have from the garage. All started brilliantly. Whilst talking for a bit afterwards, I leant in through the window to do the window up. Pressed the auto button and moved myself out the way quickly. (The engine was running at this point) because I had to mveo out the way quickly I brushed the lock thing on the door, down they went and the window was sealed. So... it's 1am and I am on a deserted road with a 206 running with heater on and no way of getting into it....
Here is the dumb part though.... I could have done one of three things.
1) Sit with the car until 8am this morning and then rang the peugeot garage and got them to send someone over with the spare key.
2) Phoned a mates Dad who is a professional mechanic and he could have used his tool to get into the car with no damage caused.
3) Of course in the panic, neither of the 2 sensible options even passed my mind. Instead, the jack tool from mates corsa went through the window. Smash of course, glass everywhere inside and out........
I got into the car but now I am left with 2 choices. Tell Peugeot the truth and pay the hefty damage fine and the cost for a new window and face not being able to have another loan car (which is a MUST for my job)
Or I could buy a used window (plenty of them on ebay) for £25 and get my mates mechanic Dad to fit it. This seems the sensible option but is their anyway peugeot could ever find out?
Now is your chance to humiliate me and give suggestions if you have them :L Living the life guys..... -.-

#4: Re: World Record for THE world's most dumbest thing Author: T_bandery, Location: East londonPosted: Sat Oct 02, 2010 7:25 am ---- They would never find out lol

Yeah they wont know, blame it on the guy before if they suspect anything. It's a loan car after all so it's expected to be a little "used".

#21: Re: World Record for THE world's most dumbest thing Author: shaker, Location: AustriaPosted: Sat Oct 02, 2010 4:50 pm ---- how much does a UK locksmith charge? (if they have 24 hours service ofcourse)
I get the night shift every now and then, and we regularly (spelling??) open cars for people, some with the engine running like in your case.
a 206 should be one of the easier cars for a proper locksmith.. Last edited by shaker on Sat Oct 02, 2010 4:54 pm; edited 1 time in total

^ HA! :L not a job for me, I would be too tempted just to open one up and taking for a spin, id park it back where it was of course.
#25: Re: World Record for THE world's most dumbest thing Author: shaker, Location: AustriaPosted: Sat Oct 02, 2010 4:56 pm ---- Haven't actually tried a mustang (old or new?), but maybe
Common fault is that people think we can start cars aswell lol. what's the point of getting into it, if you can't start it and drive off hehe.

thinking about it, this little loan car has been a loan car for 4 years. The only staff at peugeot whoever sees it and gets in it is the half dead cleaner they have their. it will be fine i reckon. I might just get a "peugeot code protection" sticker from scrappy

meh if they're finicky enough to notice then it could have been done before they even had the car as loan car
#29: Re: World Record for THE world's most dumbest thing Author: aaronrs600, Location: plymouthPosted: Sat Oct 02, 2010 5:06 pm ---- Very true. £20 window from the scrappy will do lol would take u half an hour or so to do. or if u get someone to do it yank your door cards off to save time
