Well that is good news

Did you apply for something or just brown nose your way up the ladder

As for getting rid of your Zafira for a Signum

Love my Zafira, although I'd like the Gsi version, but the oil burner is fast enough anyway, although I manage to avoid any points upgrade thanks to a driver awareness course

Its nothing to do with me, even though they employ me, I'm doing my best to keep this country great, although my employer does nothing to help matters these days.

But then none of the Govenments I've worked for have been any good, they're all as bad as each other, although this one seems to be the worst so far. Perhaps I'm just getting old and cynical

Sorry for the rant, if its not the Government wanting to fleece me, its the ex wife. ARGHHHHHHHH

My zafira's ok got the 150bhp diesel but it just feels like a bit of a bus, plus it sounds more like a workvan there not the most refined diesels. The insignia i'm getting has a 160bhp desiel and is way smoother and quieter. As for the promotion, we get assessed every year and eventually when you get near the top of the pile you get promoted, guess i'm back at the bottom of a new pile now

Glad you're having a good one though Rob, feels good when it comes together

I know how it feels when it seems everythings against you felt like i've been in a bit of a rut for the past year or 2 with work so its nice to finally turn the corner. plus it means more money for trackdays this year and possibly a new bike next year

3.5 years til I get a promotion of sorts- finishing my apprenticeship, though I'll be trying my best to finish early.

Congrats on the promotion

Yes, agreed. If you want a good oil burner then the best I've driven is the Honda Accord diesel, but out of my price range. It is a rocket ship and goes round corners on rails. We've got a couple at work

mmmm tempting....or just emigrate to a country that doesn't tax you on stuff you've already been taxed for at least twice before, does such a place exist??
