CUK Car Owners trend

[lilelvis2000]

a mazda 626 with 140k on the clock. ready to die anyday now. The heater broke two years ago..I hot wired it to the cigarette lighter to make it run when I need it to. dodgy brakes. mirrors have to be manually adjusted. air con not working. burns oil, radio only picks up AM. this is why I now take the bus and the train.

the car is yours for £1000!

Crikey, all the IT contractors run cars worse than the permie trainee office clerk.

Very sad.

In my day, IT contractors drove Porsches and Mercs and the like.

I have a Renault Scenic (baby daughter), but I am still a permie so the BMW/Lexus/Merc will have to wait till I start contracting. Incidently my brother just bought a 4x4 merc 6 years old for only £13k not bad it looks very new.

Why does having a baby daughter dictate you have to drive a people carrier?

Surely any car with 4 seats would do?

E.g. a Maserati Quattroporte.

Real contractors take an auto-gyro to work and park on the client's roof.

Buggys and other stuff take up a lot of space

[Emperor Dalek]

Absolutely. The rockets and machine guns make short work of any holdups on the Kingston by-pass.

[Emperor Dalek]

Bloody hell, you're right

1965-ish was it?

I'm afraid I'm in the Threaded camp here and drive a TVR Tuscan Speed 6.

But I fly a twin Seneca II 200T Turbo...

[The Lone Gunman]

I have a Rover!

MG ZS.
I also have an old Mondeo for going to the tip and carrying building materials.
I also have a KTM Duke II for weekend personal transport.

Does a kite buggy count?

>> Rockets and machine guns on the Kingston by-pass.

I often thought a dart firing attachment for blowing out tyres would be very useful. A bypass for Kingston would be even more useful
