A friend (very local!) has brought two very shit 306 dturbo's for a rather cheap price, so we are going to try and make one good one out of the pair, and fit fog lights to the 205 today and Sunday

Ollie v-t? Wouldn't of thought so though
Haha I know mate, it's funny. These were too good to pass up on, neither of them are spot on but we can make a good one out of one, and have two cars worth of spares to flog with the other!
You mean the van is the only thing drivable haha

Friday - work u til 2, hightail it to Corby to pick up some bits for work and handover some stuff to a colleague. Currently on the sofa celebrating cider o clock.....Such a fine hour then out for a curry and beers with some good chums.
Saturday Test drive a new Audi A3 as I'm probably getting one for a company car. Invited to the olds Saturday night for dinner and stop over.
Sunday - Wash the insignia, throw water at the hire car, cook Sunday dinner for the outlaws and probably boot up the laptop and fool some work.later.

You saw my facebook post then....
Audi Leicester are a bunch of massive c0cks. Went in , explained id be getting a company car, wanted an A3, would be via Lex Autolease...
Looked at me like i was something unsavoury on the bottom of their shoe, gave me a business card with a name scribbled on it for the 'company car' bloke who only works Mon - Fri, gave me a brochure and pretty much told me to do one. Nobs.
Rang Lex this afternoon to see if they could organise a test drive/overnight trial of one. Not a problem.for them.so just waiting on a call back now.

trouble is as a salesman whilst we are sat with you goi g over a car that you won't be buying from us we miss out on dealing with actual people that will be putting money in our pocket .
the way to do is be vague on how you will be paying .
