Paul Gibney - Lancashire AO Posted June 26, 2014 Posted June 26, 2014 Mines at work every day Mine too Quote
Onliest Smeg David Posted June 26, 2014 Posted June 26, 2014 I take mine at every opportunity. But unfortunately 7th I can't. Great idea though. Quote
CrisisWolf Posted June 26, 2014 Posted June 26, 2014 I can probably only do Fridays, and only when its quiet as we have weird mile/radius from work clauses in effect. But I plan to, one day... Quote
Mark (smokey mow) Posted June 26, 2014 Posted June 26, 2014 I wish I could use mine for work but I don't have the ground clearance to get onto the building sites Quote
Andy Banks Posted June 26, 2014 Posted June 26, 2014 Great idea but I'd have to bribe a Government official for a parking space and pay the congestion charge. Unless......... Quote
Aerodynamix Ltd Posted June 26, 2014 Posted June 26, 2014 Mines at work every day Mine too Mine too , unfortunately in bits at the moment , however I have been asked to look after my friends for a while as he is garageless , he asked could I take it for a run reasonably regularly ..................................................... let me think about that one , if its taxed I will use it on the 7th Quote
Paul Hurdsfield - Joint Manchester AO Posted June 26, 2014 Posted June 26, 2014 Back in the past when I did work, on one of my Westy days the google earth camera flew over and my Westy was in the yard at work Quote
Dommo Posted June 26, 2014 Posted June 26, 2014 It's been known Though occasionally some creative parking can go unappreciated 1 Quote

Lyonspride Posted June 26, 2014 Posted June 26, 2014 It's a noble idea, however in my experience people become complete (c u next tuesday)s when someone rolls up to work in a nice car. I work at the sort of place where technical skills are played down as being "simple" and "brainless", by office bods who like to think they're a cut above. Most of these folks couldn't even change a flat, so a kitcar probably ranks up there as a major insult to their deluded sense of superiority. My daily barge has already been hit 3 times on the works car park, purely because almost none of them are capable of reverse parking, so I can imagine what would happen if the idiots couldn't actually see the car. I'd probably be inclined to park the Westfield in a different spot, but this would upset certain people who (due to work being a popularity contest) would probably convince a manager to make me move it.... At which point, sods law it'd get reversed into. Also on my 15mile drive I always without fail encounter idiotic, aggressive or passive-aggressive driving. At least 3 counts this morning alone...... My barge has also had 3 new windscreens in 2 years, because of the way Worcestershire council "resurface" the major roads around here. I might do it once, just because some of the guys at work want to see it, but it won't be repeated often. Quote

Sounds like you work in a Call Centre, Don't let them grind you down, be an individual and drive your , at least on one occasion. Quote
