Yet another car question

The bloke who now owns that very car is a regular poster on
www.briskoda.net.
He has yet to get it on a rolling road to see what the output is , but it
has the K03 turbo as fitted to the 180 bhp model rather than the K04 of the
225.

Of course what it had in it at the time is open to debate.

It's a very minor bit of bodywork, and everyone seems to get shrill about
it. The basic concept is so good that Honda is making a copy.

 

Our corner shop's got three checkouts, ffs.

And your point is?

 

Champ secured a place in history by writing:

My employers, in their infinite wisdom, have decided to offer me nothing in
return for giving up my £6k car allowance [1]. Cunts. As are you lot for
even thinking it appropriate to discuss all this company car crap at my
dining table.

[1] The 90 day consultation on this proposal may see some climb down. The
mood is a little militant, to say the least [2]

[2] This on top of closure of Final Salary Pension scheme, increased
working week, reduced sick pay, reduced notice period, reduced private
health-care..... [3]

[3] Anyone looking for a good, experienced IT Manager (Project, Resource,
Budget)? I might know someone who could be interested....

 

The point is that I thought the discussion was around managing the
staff in a large scale retail operation, not running a veg stall down
the market.

Been there, done that. It's easier than doing what I do at the moment.

 

Decontenting the package. Are they about to go down the tubes or something,
or just looking to offload their best people without paying them redundancy?

Bear?

 

It's cold and dark outside. Stop being obtuse and just make your
point. Oh, I know - "It's really a vauxhall". Well, I don't care.
It's got a Saab motor, saab 'sports' suspension, saab interior. Does
me.

Better - withering looks of ageing residents.

Hmm. Maybe I'm confusing things. I wouldn't want a 300bhp V8 - much
too expensive to run. I thought there was a 'hot' A4 that was more
normal.

Anyway, that article criticises the car for having no personality.
For me, personality is something I look for in my friends, not my
motor vehicles.

Hmmm. I'm not sure I want something *that* big.

It does annoy me that 'premium' brands seem to think there's something
downmarket about hatchbacks, and only offer saloons or estates. For
me, a hatch is the best of all worlds.

 

Said the bloke with a Multipla.

 

Really?

You wouldn't think so, reading this group in winter.

Crikey - I had no idea Skyline's were so affordable. Pity they've got
shit load space

Coo. Ta.

Nah. Don' want to spend that much, don't want that much horsepower
(cos of the running costs, and potential reliability issues).

Thanks for the info, tho.

 

Sorry. Could you pass me another roast potato, please, and the gravy
boat.

 

Bear emerged from their own little world to say

It's a *real* Fiat then

No, me. I like working for this company, but there are limits.

 

^^^^

I suspect he was having a poke at this.

 

The name 'Skyline' covers a multitude of sins. Personally, if it's a pre
R33 model, I'm not all that keen on them.

Sorry, all gone.

Who's that big-nosed **** at the end of the table? Did you invite him?

</Whispers>

 

Oh. A typo jibe. Really, I expect better from Platy.

 

Heh. I paid for it with my Switch card.
