Hmm, seems to have come up as 'Mail to'. Probably because of the @ in the middle of the link. Just go to properties and get the link from there (without the mailto: bit! lol)

still doesn't work properly! Are we meant to be looking at the VXR, if so its very nice, my cousins just got the Corsa in the same colour!

[PulseTurbo]

Hmm, okie dokes... I'll directly show them then!

Company! Car?!

Nice I've driven one, a silver one, it was nice, if a little "scary" with foot-to-floor!

[TaylotS2K]

VXRs are pretty nice cars! A bit too common for my liking. Decent company car though!

[PulseTurbo]

Yep, company car. Which is great, as I can really use all that power!

Actually my tyres are now on the legal limit after 6000 miles... It corners well too

[Forthright MC]

thats quite the company wheels! nice looking VXR indeed, good pics too!

[Jack_Pearson]

how did you manage that as a company car?

[PulseTurbo]

We can choose anything we want from the vauxhall range up to a certain allowance. They dont care if it's petrol or diesel. That was the highest model I could get. Silly really, since some of us do around 30k miles a year, and I'm currently getting around 20mpg.

[PulseTurbo]

Perhaps we could see if yours can keep up?

[DiscoStu]

Lmao!!!

Cracking company car matey

V nice- although there is freedom of choice i would assume you would have to be senior-ish/management to be eligable for a vxr - not the sort of car most company fleets dish out

My Focus ST is a company car and a colleague of mine's got a new VXR. We're too sensible to race each other.

Even at my lowly level I could choose from the likes of the new Audi TT (a VERY decent car, against expectations!), RX-8, ST, that kind of thing.

The ST won for me as I can fit my drum kit in the back and it's supremely comfy inside for a lardy-arse like me.

Nope. I'm a lowly field engineer. I got the VXR due to paying through the nose for it. Stupid waste of money in actual fact.

A thread on company cars ???? Just picked this one out of the rack for tonight, love the colours....Coming to a road in SW London tonight and the rest of this week....

Sorry could not resist....

Pah, its only a 530d

[PulseTurbo]

Definitely can't keep up with me then.

[flattotheboards]

yup i agree it is a cracking company car, especially as your not paying for the tyres.

my sister is a PC field engineer she gets an astra of no choice- a diesel estate (and not even a 150bhp just poxy 100bhp)
"paying through the nose for it" - doesn't your monthly company car allowance cover it?

[Connor_scotland]
