Nothing quite like making assumptions , are there ...

I presume when you buy a helmet, you make sure it matches your bike, and has <b>[Censored]</b> written on it ?

nope, my bike is orange, me helmets black/red & its got arai written on it......

anyways...there`s no need to be nasty, i was only trying to help....i thought the hook & cup holder were important gadgets to have for you rep type whalla`s...i mean jeez, you aint gonna sell much laminate flooring turning up in a crumpled burtons jacket, and think of the expence if you spill your drink in the car.....not the damage to the dash, but the £11.95 you just paid for the wild bean cappuccino !......

Which version of the Audi 3.0 tdi is it? Some of the sportline and quatro versions look very aggressive. The BMW's are all in my opinion spoiled by the runflat tyres. If you can run with the petrol bill on the 535 then that engine would be my choice. For looks the 525d sport.

The car on my current list is the Mercedes CLS 320d coupe. Probably not practical and current car (Jag Estate - no problems at all) doesn't get repalced until June 2007

It would be the quattro 3.0FSI ... can't really run to the silverline, or whatever they call it ...

Could just about get ( for paying a extra 10 GBP a month) a 530d .. just waiting to see ...
But that'll be straight out of the box and few extras

Well the FSI is the petrol range so it will be a 3.2. i'd probably go for that one over a BMW. It does look like you are drawn to the BM's though and if you can put up with the run flat ride then it has to be a BM. If you could stretch a little further there is a sublime 535d which in M Sport trim looks fantastic

If its in the interests of the company, why dont they give you a reliant robin?

Surely its just about you getting to a place to conduct buisness?

If they did that for the others in the company think of the saving they could pass on to the customer...............
