First thoughts are obviously with the injured man, hopefully he makes a good recovery.
I wonder if these car wash people are insured and if not how the owners insurance will react to this.

I hope the injured bloke recovers, but the biggest crime here is having the Bentley washed at Tesco, which is what the police must be investigating :cry:

Not sure if it's country wide, but the Tesco stores around here seem to have a deal with the car wash people, probably sharing the ££, you would like to think they check and insist on the correct cover..

You've got to be seriously deluded if you decide leave your car for a supermarket valet without appreciating the potential risk of some weekend-jobbing, opportunistic, spotty twonk deciding to go all Nelson Piquet with it. Drrrr. :oops:

As above thoughts for the injured man as for the Bentley owner what a muppet letting a car park car wash team clean your car the ones around here are terrible would not them clean my work boots.

I've never quite understood why anyone would leave their pride and joys with these neanderthals (usually always illegal immigrants) in the first place.

I spent hours cleaning, polishing and waxing my mums Kuga and then a few weeks later she took it to one of these drive through hand car wash places, who sprayed TFR everywhere and stripped the car of all it's protection...

Quit being lazy and do it yourself!

Maybe he's insanely rich and this is his 'daily hack'? :lol:

Anyway, can we please have a moments silence for the Peroni's :cry:

Hope the guy recovers ok. Can’t believe they get their bently washed there.

I took my van to the local ‘hand car wash’ today and noticed this bottle of acid lurking on the shelves. Guessing it goes in with the wheel cleaner:

Would only ever wash the zed myself, wouldn’t want my best mate washing it to be honest

Edit: one of the workers there had a beanie hat on with “cocaine and caviar” embroided on it :|

Jesus. I don't even park my car at Tesco, nevermind let the fucknuggets at the wash go anywhere near it.

I wash all the cars in our family and it doesn't matter if it's my company car, track car or the Zed, we never let anyone touch them.

Hope the injured guy is ok but I am pretty sure the Bentley was either being ragged or guy didn't know how to drive it.
