Mechanic takes customers car for a spin - at 118mph

submitted by Zawash

9 years 3 months 3 weeks ago

YT: A motorist was horrified when a dashboard camera revealed reckless garage mechanics had driven his car almost double the legal limit - reaching speeds of 118mph.

Baffled Wayne Clinning, 42, took his car in for a service and new tyres and also asked workers at the official Ford garage to check the speedometer and the tracking.

But when he got his Ford Focus ST back he claims half a tank of fuel had been used so activated the dashboard camera when he returned the vehicle for more repairs.

He couldn't believe it when he got back his sporty car and watched footage which appeared to show a mechanic "joyriding" his car - reaching speeds of 118mph.

During the ten minute 'test drive' near the garage in Morecambe, Lancashire, the driver also appears to undertake at speed and drive on the wrong side of the road - at 114mph.

The footage - shot on a tiny camera on the central mirror - also looks to show him revving the engine and squeezing past oncoming traffic.

And as if that wasn't cheeky enough, when the mechanic gets back to the garage, the audio mic catches him and a colleague rifling through bags in the car.

I want follow up on this story.
Did he turn the video into the police and get an arrest?
Did he turn the video into the boss and get all involved fired?
Did he turn the video into Bubba and get the kid kneecapped and his shifting hand smashed?
I think I would go for the hat trick of all 3.

Here's a news article: http://goo.gl/r7MFeR
I had to shorten the link, since the Sift messed it up.
