        No company car yet due to being so young and having a small accident at the age of 17 (which apperantly still isn't cleared from my record? hmm......)

        So I drive my own car -- A fully-loaded 2002 Ford Taurus SEL



        Half of the miles i've put on my car thus far are from work; which I am not too thrilled about (especially considering the way below average milage rate we get )

        I cover the Omaha metropolitan area which include cities within a 60 mile radius.

          A silver 2006 Scion XA. Great car, great mileage, fun to drive, the ladies love it, being cute and all. North end of Evansville to Vincennes. Fairly dense population of machines.

            A Vauxhall Vectra with an extra black smoke pedal, covering the North East of England up to the Borders.

            Hopefully they'll upgrade it to a pair of rollerblades soon, it's a pile of toss.

              Company Car

              Just got a new Pontiac Vibe (Toyota Matrix) with company logos all over it and a GPS tracker (so they know where I am goofing off at) car drives great, corners like it's on rails, and accelertates like it's pulling a 5th wheel.

                I have a 1 hp palomino. Gets about 30 miles to the bale of hay. Oversized saddle bags for plenty of parts and tools.

                    who needs a company vehicle. 95% of my clients are within a 10 minute walk from my office, don't need to carry spares, can pop back & get what I need while the coffee the customer has made me cools down!!!!!
                    Tip for the day; Treat every problem as your dog would.....If you cant eat it or f*ck it....then p*ss on it & walk away...

                      I'm driving a 2004 "skoda octavia combi" - nothing special (besides some self-made improvements). All in all I'm happy with it.

                        No company car as I'm a walking tech, just a oyster card that allows travel on London transport, the closet I get to driving is seating at the front of the DLR (driverless trains).
                        Do drive my own car for pleasure only and it is my dream car.

                          Co. Car

                          At my last company I used to drive a Renault laguna, 2.0l petrol at first, then a 1.9Diesel when I killed that one (that was after 2 years). Used to do between 5000 and 6000 miles a month. I used to cover the whole of the south of Engalnd, from Bristol on the left, to Lutton and Bedford in the middle and Basildon on the right. Everything south of that was mine, including London itself. You try finding a parking space in London..... You need to have a backseat full of change if you did, not to mention that 'congestion' charge. More like Corruption charge!!

                          I now cover Hampshire and occasionally venture over it's boarders. Best move I ever made....Oh and I'm now driving a Vauxhall Zafira..

                              I opted out of the company car scheme and brought a skoda octavia vrs.
                              Big boot, very quick and better fuel economy than the focus diesel.

                              Biggest problem i have is the traffic police have these as unmarked cars so people often think your an umarked police car so suddenly brake when they see you and pull in behind you

                                Its a '93 Mercedes 190e. auto. Its the cheapest and slowest car Benz ever made but its cheap to run.
