Off Topic Cars

yeah been thinking about that just wondered if anyone had
a) tried present VAG auto & their views on it as in my 7 year old Polo its smooth but really badly geared i.e. can find yourself in 7th gear doing 55mph on a slip road
b) any alternatives

 

Pretty much decision made.

Nice one everyone, it's been a varied and thorough investigation!

 

I hope the bits about lava bread and golfing attire helped.

 

So it's a BMW then?

 

It was especially that.

 

You really need to start using the reply button.

 

Got two cans of that steam lager, two Boston lagers and a six pack of Morretti.

The weekend has landed.

 

Will be yeah. Need to find the right car now.

I'm not rushing into it.

 

The Anchor lager I mentioned? Let me know what you think.

 

That's the stuff.

 

Got football training till eight though!

 

I'm doing lifts until about the same time.

 

Take the stairs ya lazy ****er.

 

@Chief do you not get a car allowance with work? I assumed you lot all drove round in Warriors and Barbarians.

I'm using a work van atm, it's great. Vauxhall Combo 1.6... absolute monstrosity to look at but there's no fancy bits in it, just that stop/start but I turn that off.

 

I do, yes. That's why I'm buying one.

You think I'm a foreman or something?!?!

 

Why don’t you use the allowance to lease new then mate?

 

One of our PM's has a Barbarian.

I like them, dunno what I'd ever put in the back like.

 

That's what I usually do, but they also let me use pool cars and vans atm as well so winner.

 

Always see them as a works manager type vehicle but, yeah the tailgate etc. is ultimately pointless for me as well.

I need boot space but it needs to be locked up, not open air.

 

I intend to use the allowance to actually own the car. Probably pay it off in three years then upgrade.

Not fussed on the idea if leasing, you don't own the ****er.
