It's arrived... :O)

Umm... Now refresh my memory here, didn't I start this new Job back in February? Ohh yes, wasn't the order for my Company Car placed then... Ummm Yes... What date is it now? Jezz.... But on Wednesday it finally arrived.... :o)

Anyways... Here she is...


Toyota Avensis... (The T180 top of the range model of course ;o) With all the toys, Sat.Nav. blah blah blah... ohh and mustn't forget the "Darkened grille with chrome effect" ;o) )

So first impression... Not a bad drive... BIG, but Toyota have stolen the 180bhp Lexus Diesel engine and put it in her so she got a little bit of Poke :o) Slight understeer round the tight bends (110mph+), squirms a tad under heavy breaking, not terminal though, and there's a BIG button to turn the bloody traction control off :o) And... £8K cheaper than the equivalent (slower), BMW!!! (I hate those bloody Germans! ;o) )

So was she worth the wait? Well apart from having 50% too many (17-inch 5-spoke smoked alloy) wheels, I guess so ;o) (The only good thing with 4 wheels is 2 motorbikes ;o) )

Ciao Ciao

Lol....it's all a little academic isn't it....given that I don't imagine you will ever drive it more than a few miles! Hell man four wheels is just way too many! ;o)

OK you lot... Just P1ss Off ;o)

BB!!! NO Kidz!!!

Nope, no bells, no comfy seat, no supersonic speeds, nothing... But apparently its more conducive when turning up to take clients out than tossing them a spare crash helmet ;o)

Ciao Ciao
