What car were you entitled to?

It was a mk3 1.6GL Escort which was quite a nice car as my first company car. If I'd stayed at my previous employer it would have been a 1.3L Cortina but I left there after, believe it or not, a bust up with the Chief Accountant and Finance Director.
I was bloody good at my job but really didn't, and still don't, suffer fools gladly which is not ideal in a newly qualified accountant in very hierarchical organisations.

A 1.3 Cortina isn't as fuel efficient as a 1.6.

The joys of watching the new fleet of cars arrive and knowing that you're going to get the crumbs as a new boy.

It was what's the cheapest car we can buy and keep our managers decision. They kept on being sent back to the dealer due to the appalling fuel consumption.

The best laugh though was our HR manager, Susan, towed a horsebox and Batley and around there is a bit hilly.

Where's the rev when you need him?
Having a threesome with a couple of hookers in Thailand probably.
Not in June.

BMW's are like Audis, Mercs and other modern landfill with universally poor driving across the board.
