I didn't say it wasn't.

Eh?

My Rover comment was because Nath obviously views the Mondeo as a rubbish car. I'll agree it is not an interesting sporty car, but right now I don't need one, this suits my needs perfectly.

I think it's a nice car, does what you need just like the ZS does for me. Each to their own and all that.

Wasn't meant to be shirty (hence the

at the end), just pointing out that it isn't an interesting or sporty car (and it is rather rubbish

).

Haha, good guess then.

Returns good economy and is comfy, has 4 doors and lots of space and not a dagdag?...oh wait...you have a dagdag.

[TW]Fox · 16 Jul 2011 at 20:32

What sort of economy?

InvaderGIR · 16 Jul 2011 at 20:37

Better than the 318iS it seems, although I'll know for sure once this tank is empty. I have no inclination to put my foot down in the Mondeo, much more sedate sort of driving than in the BMW.

I never, ever, managed to get book figure for combined in the 318iS, best I ever got, being careful on a tank was 32mpg (book combined is 35mpg).

I'd rather have bought something silly and fun, but I need reliable and comfy at the moment. I'll get something fun to go along side it though as and when I can.

So do it in work hours rather than on your day off?

Princey · 17 Jul 2011 at 22:29

No, this client is worth a damn slight more to me than a car meet. I'm fully booked on my scheduled days to work.

[TW]Fox · 17 Jul 2011 at 22:31

If you ran your own business I'd understand by don't you work for Geeksquad or something, seems odd to give them your personal life as well as your work life :eek:

DRZ · 17 Jul 2011 at 22:33

You work for the Geek Squad lot don't you? (I seem to remember that from somewhere).

In that case, that isn't your client it is theirs and thus unless whoever it is is going to put you on an escalator straight to the top, significantly lube your career path or ply you with money beyond your wildest dreams there is no way at all I would give up a longstanding social commitment for it.

EDIT: Seems that Fox beat me to the punch but hey ho.

Princey · 17 Jul 2011 at 22:35

This client has spent £25,000 on this install. One installer is off sick and the other has left and leaves only me. The guy is the type to refund the lot if it isn't done that day. So either a £25k refund and me losing out on a substantial bonus or I go watch some cars.

[TW]Fox · 17 Jul 2011 at 23:00

So if somebody else is off sick and cannot do work for a customer, you lose a substantial bonus?

That sounds harsh!

Princey · 17 Jul 2011 at 23:00

If the client refunds then yes.
