      A318? Either very rich or fancying a trip to Romania given the Air France ones have been parked up.

    Go for a new one, it's a buyers market at the moment!

    1. G-DIMB

      I would completely agree. There are some fantastic bargains out there at the moment. I got £5000 off a pre reg Ford Focus and from speaking to the dealer the used car sales were even worse as manufacturers were dumping new/pre reg stock onto the market to shift it meaning people who were buying upgraded to newer ones which killed sales of 3-5 year old stuff. Only things which are worth the same are 2017/18 £0/£20 rated cars the car tax rules changed which meant they cost alot more to tax.

      None from what i could fathom and none ended up in the cornfield either. It was a honda 1-2 for the first two and plato won the third because he punted collard out of the way. Collard would have done the same thing though!

      I should also point out my first camera was a Canon T70, then EOS500, EOS300D EOS350D EOS1100D. Cant say i wasnt a Canon man. So far the the D3100 has performed well with the shots i took outside earlier on.

      my last canon was terrible. It never took an in focus shot. Canon insisted however it had been tested and was within tolerances!

    I've had my golf (to replace the troublesome civic) and its telling me it has a DPF fault already. Its only done 187 miles!!!

      Id never have a merc (our fleet manager hates them with a passion, too expensive and unreliable with a poor diesel engine (we had some C classes a few years ago after having had mondeos for years, they werent highly regarded compared to the mondeos)). Id be better of using the wifes Focus RS. Done 23k and never put a foot wrong, shes also only on her second set of front rubbers. Can you tell im a blue oval man?

      Im lucky in having a fleet car. When it breaks down you just should loudly and someone comes and gets it and brings you another one to play with for a while. Mind you i'm paying for it all in CCT.

    Has just recieved my new fleet car. A Honda Civic 2.2DTEC. The designers of this vehicle and engine should have unspeekable things happen to him!

      The guy who lives opposite us is a Honda Sales Manager and he said the new civic is brilliant when it works, trouble is most dont. He told me they went through 9 demonstrators before they got one that worked ok. And people tell me Hondas are reliable? Im normally a blue oval man but with their pricing going through the roof our fleet department is going german.

    wonders how much trouble he will be in when the boss discovers that Boris Schumacher has blown the turbo on the brand new 61 plate van?

    1. G-DIMB

      G-DIMB

      you'd have to do very well to break a 61 plate vehicle considering the first one wont appear for another 4 odd months. Turbos can fail early its the bathtub effect.
