    I only have an S and even I think to myself how i'd love a 'softer' car from time to time, instead of finding every bump in Aberdeen...god knows how you manage to cope with your ass dragging along the ground!
    Agreed Neil a daily run around is nice if you can afford it. I decided last week though the car is being left at home from now on. No more long drives upto aberdeen. It's train time. Seems pointless and all I do is worry about it (obviously not so much when it's at Ben's....I think)

    Yeah, not that you find out through a cheeky picture that it is now facing the other way or anything

    As for the train, that is a good shout. Also means you can just relax, and you don't have to put miles on the clock, or worry about stone chips etc!! And you can have a bev too!!

    Defo I know it means another night away as I will miss my boat but there are more positives than negatives, also not forgetting the £700 a year boat fares:

    And petrol, bet that costs a pretty penny, or does your company give you something towards that?

    Cost for driving: boat £70, petrol £70, Parking normally at speedbird: £42, 4000k miles a year so then there's tyres, running cost etc etc. So even at a rough estimate on the low side say £200-£220 a month, I get £69 (2ns class rail fare) I don't compain though how many get travelling expences for their journey to work.
