Great day at van valley, scorching hot and a good turnout for the Boules warm up tournament,also nice to see TimandAli, turn up. and good luck to Jon & Sue @jongood safe travels.
It looks like we have a few boules players in our midst. I can see a Tourney in the making, new blood got fed up of beating Daz last year.
This is terrible news. Seasoned visitors know that the Morrocans are very innovative and good at short term get you out of trouble repairs but IMO should not be let anywhere near a motorhome unless it's a dire emergency. They simply bodge too mutch, too often. I recall Colin @Armytwowheels telling me he saw an pledged mechanic make an electrical connection by simply twisting bare wires together and that was job home as far as he was concerned. The story above, although hard to believe just reinforces my view that these people are not to be trusted. In saying all that, I'm booked into the Fiat Dealership/ service centre in Agadir on 2 weeks time for a service. Already been given a written quote of just over 2000 Dirham, all genuine Fiat parts and Fiat trained mechanics.
No, this is a direct quote from the man himself, he knew it wasn't right but they said it was ,the rear shock has only just gone again in the last 2 days, they told him they were genuine parts ,he even took photos of them and the men in question, they asked for 50000 euros to start with, unfortunately he didn't get a price up front, and they had his vehicle to bits before he could stop them, I'm only reporting this on here so it doesn't happen to anyone else, what with the language barrier and everything you need to he on your guard, he fully accepts he was suckered in, but he is well and truly gutted
No sorry 3000 euros , getting my dirhams and euros mixed up again30,000€ Mmmm ? not shooting the messenger but if that’s true then Paddy certainly living up to his reputation
Why would you have so many jobs undertaken by a back street garage in the middle of the desert ?
Don’t stack with me sorry,
Your not wrong, I think drink may have been involvedEven 3000 € in my opinion sounds excessive, especially when they just knocked 2k off the price at a drop of an hat.,
Something tells me Paddy is not the best negotiator on the block, sounds abit like our prime minister
15mad so £1.20 per night to be fair the facilities are a little primitive
Primitive? Primitive? You've been spoiled staying on too many campsites young man! The water is delivered direct to your filler cap, drainage into the gulley you parked over which are everywhere and the new cassette emptying facilities are a sight to behold - a proper toilet (albeit the "Turkish" type). Proper waste bins almost at your door emptied daily. Free daily delivery of bread, cous-cous, pizza, tagines, windscreen wipers. You're not restricted to parking within lines and/or up to a marker post, although you maybe have to fight off a few Frenchmen who insist on cozying up to you, but you get that everywhere.....!
Primitive!!!!
.
There you go! You just confirmed they will take your money and even have the shirt of your back. Wise up man !
No , We're at safi, moving up to oulidia tomorrow, slowly and adhering to all the stop signs, only 40 dhrs, he must have liked you
No, not a funster, he's an English man who lives in America, he's been travelling since last May and been in morocco since January, he might not be genuine but he has shown us pictures of the garage and the mechanics, it's a bit of an elaborate lie, but you never know
