OFFICIAL CAR/DRIVING TOPIC

Recommended Posts

Do you basically sit there n listen to someone talk about why you should not speed?

 

That's a small part of it, it's basically a highway code refresher class more than anything. A big part was how to recognise speeds on certain roads where there are no signs etc

 

That was actually quite useful. 

 

It's definitely not people sitting there lecturing you about how it's wrong to speed, the guy who taught my session got caught speeding by the exact same camera that caught me lol.

no offence lads but a 1.6 diesel must be so dead to drive?

maybe the new ones are good now i dunno

does it go anywhere?

Nah I struggle to get over 30 on the motorway fella

does it take 100 years?

Lol nah, it's actually very nippy

Get up to 110 pretty quick

Very rarely get cars flashing to overtake because the acceleration is quite strong, apart from bmws and mercs I can normally stand my ground

Even when it comes to accelerating quick when traffic lights go from Red to amber I can normally get a good distance ahead quite easily and up to 40/50 at what feels very quick

But I don't know the science of it, I could easily be wrong, just going off of my experience so far

What makes you think diesels are dead to drive?

 

Virtually no difference except a slightly louder engine and much better fuel economy

£30?

Ffs I need a diesel.

Nah you need new, as it's probably more to do with that than fuel.

 

its to do with emissions

Other than being a SE.... If you got a business... I think this is a good deal...

 

MERCEDES E220BT SE AUTO SALOON MY 2016 £219.99 (Ex. VAT) per month, £1979 (Ex. VAT) initial payment. £317.98 (inc. VAT) if personal.

 

MERCEDES C220 CDI AMG SPORT COUPE AUTO £275.98 per month, £2483 initial payment. That's personal so exclude the VAT if you qualify for business.

 

All for 2 years, 10k per annum, and deal can't be altered.

 

'15 plate, from new, free UK delivery to an address of your choice or collection from dealer if you can't wait, ask me nicely to drive you there, and I will... Please be based around the M1/M25 (lol)

 

Colours left are Iridium Silver or Polar White in C220.

 

Obsidian Black, Tenorite Grey, and Iridium Silver in E220.

 

Vehicle must be registered and paperwork all agreed by 31st March (thats next Tuesday, yes Q1 bonuses to catch).

 

Vehicle is ready to go and will be delivered within 2 weeks, initial payment will come out in April... Roughly 2-8 days after you've taken delivery of car, your need nothing (yes, no money at all) just good/decent credit.

 

If you refer anyone to me, I'll give you a finders fee (obvs after they agree & take the car, not before). PM me the referral name and number that way I know who gave me it, obviously talk to them first.
