So you're having to faff around running an additional, old car (and all the fun and games that will come with it, if it fails an MOT or something) because your boss is too tight to pay for a taxi for you to go on a business trip necessary for you to do your job? Seems fair.

I guess buying a written off Passat is just pocket change if you were considering buying a DB9 a few months ago.

Is that the one he didn't buy because a couple of people at work might get offended?

Thats the one.

Funnily enough I was going to buy an R8 instead of the ricemobile, but I thought it might offend my boss who only has an S3.

Yes, nothing to do with money of course.

Is it the goldfish playing the tuba or you?

This again. Tell me again how there would be much difference in costs over 3 years between a circa 2006 DB9 and a brand new 530d that I had just gotten rid of.

You need a baby sitter who has a car

Surely these are rather different dynamics, a warranted lease/finance car vs an old liability of a near supercar requiring upfront capital and risk of large one off costs with no notice?

+1 the ~~poor~~ lad is on at least 4 - 0 - Edit: updated for correctness.

I'm going to post different pictures of lemons at irregular intervals until Acme gets directed by the powers that be to stop spamming this thread as these pictures are just as relevant.

ChrisD. · 2 May 2017 at 14:34

He's only the third top poster in the thread. All in the last year I presume?

Vince · 2 May 2017 at 14:36

He probably has more posts in here than I do both before and after the cull in 2002/2003.

I'm not sure how much clearer I can make it. I NEED 3 CARS.

That's way before my time but I have seen it referenced. Was it when the forum moved to VB?

I don't remember tbh. I can't remember it being anything but VB before now, somebody in here will know though. I can only remember having to start again and I lost the only photos I had of my old watercooled case as the watercooled case gallery disappeared. I was only about 15 or 16 at the time so most of what I wrote was twaddle anyway.
