Haha this thread is great

I currently work for Vauxhall Motors in Ellesmere Port, and as our plant is pretty large we have internal cars used to get around (no MOT, no Tax etc). Most of them have slight defects, mostly cosmetic. Anyways... I get to drive a fair few around, but mostly drive a 2.2L Frontera. Its an absolute shed, and feels like it is about to tip up on even the smallest of corners/bends . It really is that bad!

Although.......... not quite as bad as the 1.7DTi astra i drove the other day! (The DTi is the previous diesel engine, the one before the CDTi's which are actually quite good engines). It was amazingly slow, had no go, and has a disgusting interior!

Need I say anymore? As soon as I get in my MINI to drive home, it just makes me smile that I am lucky enough to have one
