No. A Jaguar man. So they offered him a Mondeo

Re: The Chat Thread

with tan leather too! Thats what got me into Alfa in the first place - only lasted a couple of months though - they changed insurance companies and deemed me too young to insure me on
it!!! So I had to swap cars with someone else and I ended up with a volvo S40 - you can imagine my reaction! Seconds thoughts you honestly can't imagine I almost walked out of the job because of it - spoilt brat me!

I'll just rent my own and they can reimburse me!

Howell, I seen some of those face-lifter GTV's on Auto trader, they look odd to say the least...

Why should you go backwards car wise? If you had an Alfa GTV they should have got you another Alfa to replace it, not the Swedish Coffin

S40 not so bad, my company cars were Cavalier 1.7TD and Mondeo 1.8LX. Surprising I stayed in the job so long.

Ah, that why you were looking at GTV's. Well, with your kids and the camping gear you have I can see why you need a truck as you only have a 166
