Should I drive to the office in the Indy tomorrow?
whitestu - 25/6/08 at 07:14 PM

I need to be at the office in Oxford tomorrow for a meeting. I'd really like to drive up in the Indy but don't yet trust it for a 150 mile round trip.

Would need to leave at 0645 so roads will be quiet enough and weather forecast is good.

Should I go for it?

DO IT

YES

Do it. You know you want to.

When you are decrepit and old you wont wish that you'd spent more time at the office when you were younger. If you break down its a bonus and you can enjoy the weather at the side of road. Plus you'll have a good excuse.

The alternative is driving up there in my company Prius!

Man or mouse - that is the question.....


Mole - 25/6/08 at 08:15 PM

probably asking on the wrong forum if you want an unbiased opinion.

I can imagine the conversation will go like this:

Me: 'Hi, can't make the meeting as I have broken down on the M40'

Manager: 'Really, I thought Toyota's were supposed to be really reliable, It's only 3 months old!'

Me:'Errrr....'


Andybarbet - 25/6/08 at 08:42 PM

If you decide not too, i could drive it to my office instead if you wanted

I'd suggest 'Me: Yeah, I've called the AA/RAC/GreenFlag and get it sorted out...'

The devil in me would be wanting to say '...and I read they are environmentally worse than a Range Rover when taking everything into account, who'd have thought reading Toyota's advertising'

150 miles is chicken feed......theres a seven driver hicost who does whole continents in endurance events.

Go for it

Well? Did you?


whitestu - 26/6/08 at 02:15 PM

No - no sleep last night and woke up feeling crap this morning so took the tintop.

Lame I know - weather permitting I'll be doing the same run next Wednesday.
