Power: 500bhp @ 7800rpm
Torque: 376 lb ft @ 4500rpm
Transmission: Six-speed manual
Suspension: (front and rear) Double wishbone, anti-roll bar, anti-dive and anti-squat
Tyres: (front) 235/35 ZR 19 (rear) 295/30 ZR 19

Nice job, but at the sametime I bet ure bricking it in case u prang it or some tool hits you. I suspect you would get sacked if a car got damaged, your fault or not right?

Nah mate It's not that strict

We're tracked everywhere we go - They only check when speeders or accidents happen. If It's a drivers fault he pays the excess and have a driving assessment . I think you'll only loose your job If the tracker showed you were speeding excessively at the time of the accident or driving recklessly.

I've mentioned before all the drivers myself inc have to be a member of the IAM ( Advanced Motorists ). We all have 3 driving assessments a year by a police class 1 driver - If he feels your not up to the job your off the road... Hasn't happened to anyone In the 2 years I've been there.

It Is the best Job world ( for me anyway - Car Head ) We get the us of all the cars up to the value of £100k inc holidays - All way have to do Is put our own fuel In..

Yes, that's the road I'm talking about but not the junction. Abington is junction 13 IIRC. The B7078 is the old M74, hence why it's so straight.

I'm almost 100% it's where I think it is. Lol - are you sure you didn't go back South after leaving at junction 11?

I'm only 15 mins away from there by the way.

So does your company lease prestige cars to owners, through their insurance, while theres are getting fixed due to accidents

and they let you use their cars including lambo's even when your on holiday

What a job
