In other words, you are so low down the business food chain a bus pass is all you need.

I quite often take the bus actually. Most round here have WiFi etc so a nice way to travel as long as its not too long a journey, then its also real easy to get a reliable train service to where you want to go for not much money in here Central Europe with a few G&T's along the way.
Both certainly a far more attractive alternative to driving.

Not very convenient is it if you get a call at 9.00am saying "Can you meet us at 10.00am today?"

If you need a car for a day, hire one, why waste money and driveway space buying one??

Car hire = still 100% tax deductible in the UK I believe.

Because I will start to visit customers at their offices. And it is not time efficient to go by pubic transport to some chemical plant in the middle of nowhere 200km away.

So far I have been here for almost 2 and a half years and I have not needed a car as I have gone to the same client co office every day. Thus I have not got a car here yet. Now I will need it - then I will get it.

Simlpes - and explained in the initial post

Why do you want a car??

- nothing but an expensive pain in the ass that's becoming increasingly un-PC by the second.

Back in Ireland at the moment, current mode of transport is a white Berlingo

Next month it will be push bike.

I started out in contracting with a Merc.

Am I doing something wrong.

Same here, might have to seel my beloved RAV next month to get me through the next few months.

Topgear car ratings are generally determined by a roll of the dice

take a guess at the comfort score that accompanies this piece. I'll draw your attention to one sentance in particular:

Morris Marina?
