OilIT Posted March 28, 2008 Share Posted March 28, 2008 Just found this whilst browsing around the web... Looks like the off road course at the dealers was too much for this sales person Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

smo Posted March 28, 2008 Share Posted March 28, 2008 Surely thats not real....if they "rolled" from the demo bit then they'd be upside down in the carpark, not on the slope? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Les Henson Posted March 28, 2008 Share Posted March 28, 2008 I did hear that T.H.White in Wootten Bassett had a customer roll a demonstrator on the 'extreme' off-road course in the car park. Customers are not allowed to drive it themselves now. Les. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Luckily in this case the lashings on the car behind prevented a domino effect! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Projectblue Posted March 29, 2008 Share Posted March 29, 2008 I know a dealer who had a Defender fall off the delivery truck as it was being off loaded - it landed upside down on the forecourt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simon_CSK Posted March 30, 2008 Share Posted March 30, 2008 I know a dealer who had a Defender fall off the delivery truck as it was being off loaded - it landed upside down on the forecourt My Local dealer has a Range Rover Sport drive off the ramps while trying to test the hand brake unfortumately it landed in the lap of the mechanic who was working on it at the time. Mechanic survived incident but did not hear anything further. :eek: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
