Title: Phew! Looks like I've beat the cull........for now!
Post by: Crazycarzowner on 03 March 2014, 22:04:56
Got word today that I have regained my job on the new unit! Our team is being shrunken and merged with the motorway. Not very happy about it (team shrinking), but at least I've got a job on there.

Decent jobs are hard to come by these days and can also be hard to keep hold of. Keep on hanging in there  :y

They are shrinking too (well not physically just reducing numbers) Anything would beat driving around in them Hy&dies, they're bloody awful!!!

If they like Hyundais

Noooooooooooooooo!!!!!

None of the ones I've driven in anger have the ability to go around corners...........and in the wet  :o :o :o
They are ok for pottering around in don't get me wrong and the 7 year warranty is brill, but they are simply not up to the response job. The 1.7cdti Astras were literally leagues ahead and took some real stick. These i30's well, least said really & good job they have that warranty!
