I guess when you are getting paid $21,000 for an oil change you can afford a $25k watch. 😀

Technically the 21k oil change is what the Bug dealer charges. They said they would do it for 10k or less.

All love my friend.

And it’s a stupid watch.

I bet they had a few bolts left over at the end that they couldn’t remember where they went 😗
And what’s with the auto-screwdriver? I cringed when it looked like he was going to stuff up the heads of the bolts holding the filler cap, couldn’t he just use a manual screwdriver?

And on top of the rear deck lid with nothing to protect paint/finish. I was wondrwond if their jeans had rivets (Levi jeans have them) that could have easily scratched the surface.

Too true, you’d think a higher level of care would apply, but then they are doing it for a much cheaper price.
I was imaging that Bugatti engineers would wear custom velour jumpsuits when working on Veyrons, etc. (I used to wear sweatshirts and slacks when working on classic sportscars) but it looks like the uniform is chinos and polos.

Does anybody else have the word "wankers" come into your head while reading this thread?

Why would you call them that? They work for a high end rental place ... just having a bit of fun and promoting their business. I think it was an interesting video. Maddening but interesting dissection of a silly but cool toy car.
Ps... I now understand what was meant when a writer once wrote (Paraphrase) “to so the mandatory engine overhaul, the car needs to be literally cut in half.” What a nightmare.

Funny, as I follow that channel, after being introduced to it by DDE (daily driven exotics with their "tire slayer"), and thestradman, both who have vlogged about Royalty Exotic Car Rentals in Vegas. I would not rent an exotic car from them, simply because afterwards I wont be happy with my WRX anymore.

Can’t flog a Bug down an unimproved country road. WRX wins every time!
