Back in the 80's I worked for a large international company. They had a system of bonus payment by reward of effort, they also upgraded your company car too. The manager's all had VW/Audi, I remember going from a basic Passat upgraded four times until I had the Audi whistles and bells thingy.
The sales team had a similar system but their cars were all Vauxhalls. My salesman was very good at selling but rubbish at driving. He had been involved in so many scrapes and bumps that they threatened to downgrade him to a Nova. He had the model between the Cavalier and the Senator, the name escapes me.
On the day he was involved in yet one more collision, he also brought in one of the most lucrative accounts ever. Confident that he would keep his car, (he had to report to head office, where he was told that he would be getting a new two litre turbo car,) he was just so excited.
He came back in tears, honestly, a grown man crying because he didn't like, or expect, to be given a two litre, turbo diesel, Maestro. He was also known as The Maestro after that. He hated that car so much that whenever they visited friends or family they did so in his wife's VW Golf. Oh the shame!

Some people are like Slinkies - they serve no useful purpose, but they still bring a smile to your face when you push them downstairs.
Re: breakdown truck
And don't forget the Viceroy, which (pointlessly?) fitted between Carlton and Senator. Vauxhall's very own VW Santana perhaps? Everyone's allowed an occasional white elephant:Luxobarge wrote:Carlton.GHT wrote:the model between the Cavalier and the Senator, the name escapes me.

Rich, I worry about you. What you need is something practical for you and your family, something big, but not a Chelsea Tractor, something that says: "Get outta the way, I'm coming through." Here's what you need.

I can just see it now, the headline in Auto Express says:
"VW-Audi Group refutes claims that MK8 Golf's development budget suffered as a result of that emission-related spot of unseen expense."

Re: breakdown truck
I'm liking the red thing, very quirky and almost eccentric enough for this frustrated Postman Pat wannabee. But the Unimog is the one from that pair which I'd take home.
