They trusting you with a new lorry:nailbiting:
Had it since Sept 1st. I haven't yet caused any damage but everyone else seems to want to trash it for me :mad:. I was off a couple of weeks ago and they handed it over to an agency driver. I told him NOT to smoke in it as my bedding etc is in it. He totally ignored me and left a great fag burning the drivers seat :arghh:. After a little tay tar tay in the yard with him :D he no longer works on our site. Fork lift damage all over it already. It looks 5 years old at 6 months :arghh:

Good old Agency drivers. One of our fellow zedders, Pooley now zedless, had a Agency driver yesterday driving for Jewsons on his first day rear ended Pooleys new car. Can happen i suppose but someone from an agency with no ties to the company trusted with something as valuable as a new Lorry seems a recipe for disaster. Sure their are some very responsible Agency drivers out there but a minority.
On another note i thought a company lorry cab comes under the same laws as an office environment where smoking is illegal? (Tongue in cheek, same as using a phone, ignored.)

Other than my 97 plate z3 2.8 auto which my wife drives, I have an e39 535i v8 98 which is my daily driver. Plenty of power and a lovely smooth ride for a 22 year old car! and gives 27 mpg on average. Just got my old 51 z3 1.9 back from my daughter as she is getting a 5 year old beetle......but I think she has blown the head gasket on it!!!!!

It is illegal mate and after a small altercation with said agency driver the boss banned him off site for breaking the law

Recently acquired 05 Range Rover Sport, had thousands spent on her mechanically and drives spot on just needs a bit of TLC.

An old project, Chinese Honda Joker replica, fully rebuilt using better quality parts, just a bit of fun now wintering in the conservatory.

Besides the Z we have a 55 plate Honda civic sport with a lovely revvy engine & slick gearbox (sorry no pics). Sue also has a fairy sizeable collection of model sports cars, cars, vans, trucks etc. (but she wont let me play with them:().

Current daily driver, and probably an unpopular opinion, but overall the best car I've owned :whistle:

I traded an A3 2.0 TDI for the TT, been very pleased with Audi quality the last couple of years.
