eBay tat volume 3.

Slightly scruffy Omega estate, currently 250 quid.  It is, however, a low mileage top of the line dizzler with nearly a full test.  It's a shame (from my point of view) that it's in Liverpool or I'd be sorely tempted.  I'm pretty sure there's a Vauxhall licker or two a little closer than me though.

 

 

 

Oh, you absolute sod,  I can't 'unsee' that now :(

LOL was that just hired from Europcar 15 years ago and never returned? :D

Fleet managers used to do things like that too, hitting some folks in the pocket was the only way to get cars serviced / returned.

 

I had the opposite experience once. A bit of a panic in an office in the Midlands meant I took it over temporarily for 3 months or so in the late 1990s. Domestic stuff meant staying away was impractical for most of the time so I was doing about 330 miles a day in a Mondeo V6. Services came around very quickly and Fleet were on my case for 'abnormal use' as management cars were on 3 years / 60,000 miles cycles.

 

The other thing I remember was filling up EVERY day, I could get from home to office and back with about 30 miles to spare.

In the late seventies my mate's dad used to clock his company cars forward so he could get rid of them quicker.

That's definitely a Europcar sticker, I stared at one for weeks at a time a few times whilst doing a shit load of miles for work

I know a chap who had claimed more business miles than his car had done so it spent several evenings with the speedo cable attached to an electric drill.

I had a sticker on a hire car once that simply read "cette voiture"
