      Nice quick car though.

      oh and i work for a dealer with multiple manufacturerrrrrrrssssssssss.

      Luckily i work for a medium sized company where i get to go to the office each morning to get my calls and any relevant parts required.

      I think its bad to be given a taxable large family car i.e. Zafira, where the only spare seats are the two front ones due to a large car stock (where would the kids sit)

      I guess i have it good where i am at!!

      P.S. I can fit parts in aswell as umpa lumpas

          opted out an brought my vrs and now messing about with a dtr to see if i like riding motorbikes. Had enough of the company car with a ford focus estate and each year it became more expensive in tax and a lower spec model. Now i get to do what i want to my car like adding cruise control bluetooth mp3 connectivity that the company wont allow me.

          If petrol was a viable alternative id have gone for an st220 or the petrol vrs but the mileage i do and the fuel economy errr no cant do it.

          focus ST - nice car and sounds nice with the grumble but love the RS version

              octavia 170bhp - fancy a remap to 200 but id probably do the engine in. I think your FR has 170bhp if its diesel.

                  Thats correct, the emissions and feul economy are very good, so it keeps the tax down to an acceptable level. And although not as quick as the petrol version (way too expensive on fuel), it is just enough to put a smile on my face.

                    I drive a ford mondeo hatchback. titanium version so a few wee xtra bits and pieces added.

                    At the minute we service 5/6 manufacturers so the boot is full to the brim and I have my hoover behind the drivers seat. Have told the boss though if we need extra stock then I will be removing stuff to fit it in, im not paying tax for a car that I can only use the front seats!!!
