Well, I won't have to worry much longer, just found out we all have to reapply for our jobs - reducing the unit,  cost cutting again, probably to pay for the BMW repair fund

Would three fully equipped Omegas on lease save the unit enough cash for a promotion

On a related point...

Your old Volvos...
Diesel/Petrol?
Manual/auto?
Reliable or fragile?

[Crazycarzowner]

Our old Volvos were the T5 2.5 turbo Petrol manuals. We only have the odd one left now on the motorway '58 plates if I recall correctly. They were a fairly big old reliable tank to be fair, what with the stick we give em. They were specially built on the diesel chassis (because apparently it was stiffer or more rigid). Had the uprated brakes & discs, and some were 'fiddled with' to up the BHP. Engines bullet proof, the last one I drove had over 170,000 miles on the clock & still went like $h1t off a shovel, and it was the original engine. The only probs we had were, being heavy they used to eat brakes especially with the equipment we carry in the boot. In a pursuit you could easily go through a set and have to remove it from the road at the end. They'd eat our new BMW's for breakfast from a standing start. Fuel economy  Don't ask, can easily empty a tank on a busy shift about £85.

Quite fancy a T6, but sensible head says new shape D5...

Well, the BMW saga continues................ BRAND NEW engine ordered under warranty  After nearly 2 months of head scratching??? So STILL no car back! Oh and guess what BMW No.2 has just gone off road with the same fault - Timing chain rattle, sounds like a couple off ball-bearings being shook up in a biscuit tin 

BMW No. 3 - Still got DPF problems and is awaiting a new one at another £1200  and our spare (stolen from another nick) is smoking like a good un with 99k on the clock!?!?

So we have now got 1 car between 4 of us

Still got room for one more in it, so you won't get wet/cold/lonely°

You're joking al

Not a lot of room with 2 of us + kit never mind the rest of the ugly-bugs ball in the rear

That should make sure every daepoo driver on Jason's stretch of motorway gets the third degree. Especially the scouse ones.

[05omegav6]

No bad thing either Cap'n

As a rugby player, playing on the wing or in the centre I'd have to disagree with that
