its really up to you, a lot of people are finding it more
beneficial to own their own and take the car
allowance instead. I know quite a few of the people
in my place are now taking the allowance instead of
the car.

 thanks for everyones support

the pug will be used privately, i realise i will be taxed on this, and ill have to put fuel in for private use, but it means my car can stay in the garage throughout the week instead of running back and forth to work (which was a 42 mile round trip, with this new job its within walking distance) and come out to play at weekends (weather permitting) and for more trips to car club events, thus saving on wear & tear, mileage and petrol (with optimax now at 93.9p a litre at the local Shell).

handed my letter of resignation in today, had to give one months notice, but ive got holidays and time off due so hopefully thats negotiable

Cheers

Yeah, still carrying on with the NiTe thing... but work is getting tedious at Network Rail and theres far too much girly b....ching between the "supposedly" grown men in my dept, for me to be doing with.

This new one involves installing/upgrading IT systems in GP surgeries/practices throughout the NorthWest ..so will no doubt be full of a cold from one week to the next.

Why is it you always come out of a doctors surgery with more things wrong with you, than you go in with?

Because generally they are young, have too much money, and want to play.

I didn't do anything extreme, but I did paint the bonnet on my HA viva matt black, adding a white stripe over the car etc, I also put a "grass cutting" front spoiler on my MGB.

My dad viewed these modifications with the same level of amusement we now view what the youngsters of today are doing.
Best Wishes

Nigel

To be fair to the Peugeot shown above it isn't quite in the same Chavish league as many....but he's still spoiled a perfectly good car!

well its just a hobbie the same as yours. they take an interest in making there cars look the way that they want them too while you take an interest in your beemers. i dont see why it annoys people so much. anyway are your cars not modified in a way?

what is wrong with max power it seems to take a great interest in everyones taste of cars especally yours. THEY LOVE BEEMERS!!

the way i see it is they are just the same as you.laughing at them isnt bad it is just you shouldnt take the p**s out of them for having an interest in something you dont have an interest for!
