hehe, make sure you smoke in it, drop burger sauce on the seat and floor and spill coke in the cup holders. Then it'll look something like our pool cars! :roll:0

I've never had a company car, I do however regularly get a company train to play with lol0

The guy who owns the company I work for used to have a terrible looking 6L V8 Holden Ute in that lager-metallic yellow that you get Peugeot 306s in, and I can tell you that the boys from the maintenance dept. regularly used it "to go for the rolls" in the morning.
We also used to manufacture the audio for all Aston Martin DB9's and the Vanquish.
One particular Vanquish was the development car and remained at my work for over a year minus its interior. It did however have two seats, was fully functional in every other aspect and we have a dual carriageway next to the factory! :twisted:0 -
Nothing goes quite like a company pool car. I managed to leave a nice streak of rubber at a roundabout in a Ford Galaxy last week."The problem was, I was still using my eyes even though I had them shut"

Best I ever managed company car wise was the sister car to this. Wasn't a company car, it belonged to my boss and he let me run errands in it from time to time.
Both cars were brought to the Isle of Man brand new. The guy who owns the company that built the trafford centre owned one of them (actually, his wife), and my old boss owned the other. The one owned by my boss is red though. One of the most beautiful cars I've ever had the pleasure to dirve, despite its age.
As it happens, the car on display there at the trafford centre was shipped over to manchester by helicopter, I remember seeing it being loaded up. As far as I know, it's still sat there with Manx registration plates.0 -

just back from smashing the arse out of the colleagues BMW. It is pretty nippy and have to admit it was smooth to drive.
Having passed my test 2 months ago, i was sceptical about driving it. needless to say i gave it a wee blast too lol2009 Trek 3900 disc https://www.flickr.com/photos/125245570 ... 613755884/

too true. I've had a company car for last 12 years and my tax code just gets worse and worse. I'm on a K something or other code
Flip side - I'd never be able to afford a £25k car of my own, so I'll take the company one thanks2014 Whyte T-129S0 -
My old Co car was a saab 93 lpt - dropped it into first at about 25 and broke an engine mounting and went through three sets of front tyres in 16 months. Never cleaned it or checked the oil.Closet jockey wheel pimp whore.0

Since February I've had a Focus estate with electrical issues, a focus estate that got crashed into, a Vectra SRI and a 93 and I'm due to be getting my actual car next week which is an A3 sportback with sport kit

I have a 'pool vehicle'. It is a VW Caddy van, but they seemed to forget the turbo at the factory (I didn't realised they did diesel vans without turbo's). I keep thinking if I stick GTi on it like the chavs... it might go faster. What I really want is to stop each near shunting miss when I pull out at junctions. :shock:
I have an Octavia VRs and it will pull out of junctions/overtake etc with no fear which makes my van seem doubly worse!
I used to get to drive a nice lexus every so often which was cool, but everyone has always ragged the @rse out of pool vehicles so I've never really enjoyed them.
I remember hearing about a boss who wouldn't let his company car out of his sight, so when one of the lucky souls managed to snaffle it for a bit they went to town with it. Jiggy with the girls, relieving themselves of natural passings, fishy in places etc. A couple of hours was enough for a lifetime of damage. I think when asked about the car coming back 'smelling' it was cited they'd just had a kebab and were sorry :twisted:Mine's a pint...
... oh this bits for the bike. Mine's a Giant Talon W3 (and a GT Avalanche for sale)0 -

I was in a hire car as a passenger recently- some Alfa estate.
Anyways when we finally hit the M25 the driver started to do little burnouts in the standing traffic- I think it was the clutch doing most of the burning though!
Just out Heathrow we filled up before we returned it to the hire company. Once upto 30mph he put the handbrake on and kept on driving- this contiued for about a mile or so then next thing we were at the drop off point for the car.
As we stopped by the attendent a nice plume of smelly brake smoke rolled pat the car! :oops:
Surprisingly nowt was said- even though I was pissing myslef with laughter 0 -

quick update, the Saab 93 has now been crashed into too, some dozy cow didn't realise she was supposed to brake when people in front do!0
