One of the reasons I left Gist after 7 years was because I was spending so much on fuel. At Cannons I was doing in a week what I do in a day to Thatcham, so even though the money was less I was better off. My daily driver is a 3.0lt Hilux diesel auto weighing in at 23mpg. Can’t sell it though as I wouldn’t get much for it as 4x4 prices have crashed.

if irchester 30 miles

There are companies in Irchester? I thought it was just a wee little nothing much of anything place, learn something new everyday. Wheres my pm■■? I got all excited someone was going to embrace me into the world of the forum but you didn’t :frowning: Altough you probably have a job unlike myself who is currently talking absolute crap and basically having a convo with myself…

Winter (September till April) I’m at Carmarthen , two miles from home. All day work so it’s great; I’ve never been a fan of long-distance commuting, clock up enough miles in the truck

Last two summers I’ve been up at Denbigh, out all week. 125 miles each way and you can’t do it safely in less than 3 hours, that’s in a 2-litre Hyundai Coupe BTW! Most weekends though I leave the car up there and come home in the truck; missus has a car and I’ve got me bikes and the pick-up so it doesn’t cause a problem.
