I don't now, about 5 years ago at the end of another stressed out day and they made the mistake of telling me that my 206 GTI was going to be replaced with a Diesel!! .............. I walked out that afternoon!

I went to another company for more money then was asked back after 7 months for even more and a much cushier job with just me to manage and a manager who doesn't have to manage me, so we are both happy :0)

Still ended up with a Diesel though ....... which made me have to buy a P1 ........ so all ended happily ever after :0)
