Strange situation...

My new company car is due for delivery on 15th December. I've just found out I'm getting laid off on the 30th December :(



But my car is still getting delivered! So I've got a Megane 225 for 15 days and no worries about behaving myself in it... ;)



Knowing my luck it'll break down on the way home and take 2 weeks to fix lol


Bad luck and bad timing - still at least you'll have a french car long enough to realise that the next company car should be German / Japanese / Swedish / Italian or Spanish.

Thrash the bejeesus out of it...with any luck, your company will have to cough up for anything other than fair wear and tear...

Handbrake on, heavy right foot and see how long a set of tyres last.

Now I wouldn't dream of doing something like that ;)

Sorry to hear that!

Well, running in should be strictly adheared to ;) And ensure you never change at less than the limiter, and make sure its niiiiiiiiiiice and hot when you shut the engine off. And of course, leave 2 nice big black lines everywhere when you set off.

False plates and moonlight as a minicabber ? :-)

that sucks! bastards eh! ok never use the handbrake, hold it on the clutch bite ;) use the handbrake on every tight bend (or every bend if you like) hit rev limiter before changing gear or try the 'guess the rev range you can select gear without the clutch' game :)

basically thrash the bollocks off it so it's a proper shed when they get it back, drive it like you stole it, or worse like i own it :)

*stares into crystal ball*

I see a track day in your future.

And if Abo can't afford the entry fee I'm sure we'll all have a whip round - could make an interesting meet - and some nice pics of smoke pouring from the tyres, brakes, exhaust, engine, interior etc. would be cooll...

Cheers bud!

Heh that would be *cool*. Shame it's happening (at all...) in December rather than in the summer tho...
