I still maintain black wheels can never work on cars. That A5 exemplifies that notion.

Fixed.

I didn't know taking on a load of depreciation was 'sensible'

it was a gift, so even if i scraped it i would make a profit

Minstadave · 11 Jun 2013 at 21:44

So whats it doing in the 'things you bought' thread

_Jimlad_ · 11 Jun 2013 at 21:51

i say a gift but its not really mine, just came with the job and mine for 3 years and then i can choose another one... oddly i don't need to drive for my job, but its a nice perk, i picked every available extra, its a nice car for me with young kiddy

So it's a company car then? Not a gift? Technically you are paying for it, as if they are happy enough to "gift" you the car, then I'm sure they would be just as happy to "gift" you the cost of the lease on top of your salary...

lee1101 · 12 Jun 2013 at 07:49

I don't think they would be too happy if you sold it

Rybo89 · 12 Jun 2013 at 07:58

So it is a company car.

What other cars was on the list?

[TW]Fox · 12 Jun 2013 at 08:18

Colour is interesting, is it black or very dark green?

rossk26 · 12 Jun 2013 at 08:56

Looks dark green to me...

It's hard to judge on a video clip but is that <6 sec to 60? I make it a smidge over 5 secs? :confused:

Clarkey · 12 Jun 2013 at 19:49

It's pretty rapid for a Clio!

acemastr · 12 Jun 2013 at 20:03

tbh there's so much wheel spin it's rather difficult to tell what the time was!

Clarkey · 12 Jun 2013 at 20:07

Seems like 5s dead to me.

AndrewNR · 12 Jun 2013 at 20:09

The 0-40 in 0.5 secs is a tad unrealistic.

But it does appear to 'catch up' at 40 (from 40

) and accelerate from 40-60 (and 80odd) in an accountable fashion.
