    Cheap and cheerfull, new and flash, second hand, leased?

    What are peoples opinions on the ideal motor for a contractor doing a fair bit of travelling ( ~25,000 m/pa ).

    If you are parking off-site and staff not likely to see you then a new Lambo Gallardo.

    If you're parking on-site then a third hand Mazda 626.

      In your case I'd buy a Golf GTtdi.
      I remember the good old days of this site when people used to moan about serious contractor related issues like house prices and immigration. How times have changed!?

        or, Festival Taxis.... they do discounts for regulars, new upmarket car every time. No parking fees, insurance, congestion charging, petrol fees, manslaughter charges or drunk driving.... just one fee set by the local council... and they dont increase it for years, unlike council tax.....

              Very economical. When I was at school my mate's big sister's boyfriend Barney also had a Lambretta scooter - an LI150 (or it might have been an LS150).

              Barney wasn't his real name. It was Les.

                  No, my mate's big sister's boyfriend. He wore a furry parka. Les Arnett was his full name.
