just come back to work from 3 days in Newcastle for work.. visiting some of our customers. Just been booked for 2 days split between Liverpool and Manchester next week...

all driving in my veccy bus (yes its my own car but they pay milage costs and hotel and food)

so for this run i have a cheque for £390, the next run should generate £250 ish....
Not bad considering its not exactly what i would call "work" ok its stress on the car but so far i havnt had any major issues.. had to replace 2 tyres last week..

Have covered 30k in just over a year of ownership

What pips it all... Is our Software Development Manager just got back from a week in Los Angeles.. again for "work" bastid !!!

That money you're making is all reflected in what you're losing tho. Isn't that great a winner tbh.

2.7 TDI A5 would be nice. The A6 I used to drive at my old job was a 2.7 TDI V6 which was very nice to drive

12v has done 30k in 2 years

I get 40p/mile expenses when ever I go anywhere for work. Only costs me 10p/mile in fuel though
