Demetris said:Davey, on what year did all this happened?
Demetris , It would be 71 or 72 wish i could be more specific ,tried googling it but got nothing !
The time and study dept.
We were told that the road testers were going to be timed on their job ,so they would have a target to get each day, silly idea as each car could need 1 or many laps of the test track to pinpoint a problem.
The day arrive and a suited gent with stopwatch and clipboard came in to the shop , the testers had picked Arthur a nice quiet chap but a top driver , a nice P6BS also had been saved ,we all watched as the gent clicked his watch saying" start ", Arthur opened the bonnet checking fluids before getting in and starting the car,the time and study guy got into the passenger side and they slid out of the test shop and onto the road leading to the test track.
ten minutes later Arthurs coming back into the shop, you could feel the heat coming off the bonnet , but he was on his own! we were all asking how he got on, and with a big smile he said "I dropped him off at the surgery he felt a bit sick!!"
The time and study never came back.. sense or sickness had prevailed.
