...bought an automatic Renault Laguna home with me today (pool car). Have to say, I'm quite impressed with an auto - ultimate lazy git accessory!! :D Makes sitting in traffic less of a chore, which is quite common in my 130 mile return journey to work! :eek:

Well, I've give it back now. My only critism is that the box didn't seem to know which gear was best - was great for sitting in traffic tho. In all honesty, I don't think I'd have a preference between auto and manual.

My 140 return journey to work finishes in 3 weeks time when I finish my placement. The company has been very good to me because it has let me borrow a pool car for a few days most weeks to visit the other office we have in B'ham - letting me take the car home and keep the mileage off the 2*****. Most I've had from a tank in it would be around the 420 mark. On thats during rush hour - 60-70mph mway driving.
