      Given that a carefully leased VW Golf GTD is £250 a month I think all you show above is an inability to do any research.

      At least it explains why you support UKIP.

        I was a contractor on 350 a day and I drive a 10 year old Mondeo. Although my last commute has pretty much killed it. Tyres 60 quid a corner

          Didn't think you've be advocating foreign cars coming over here = the good old British car (Rover, Leyland-Daf, Triumph to name but a few) can't compete, while bringing with them the HGV virus, never mind the strain on public transport services tut tut what would Farage say...

            +1 - though I'm considering getting rids of my 10+ year old Astra and for something else now. I'd much rather spend my money on toys, motorbikes and classic cars but each to their own when all said and done.

              I spent close to £900 for replacing all 4 of my RR's tyres.

              MTFU and be a contractor, because you can!

                      I learnt when I was little only the nouveau riche drove new cars. Real money drove very old cars especially Land Rovers which are damn uncomfortable to sit in.
