Well 8 wheels from 2 cars that is.
About 3 months ago I graduated from university. Started working at my graduation company and got asked by a company supplying WareHouse Management Solutions.

Today was my first official day. Everything worked out fine.
I even had to pick up a package:





It's a Volkswagen Polo 1.4l Turbo Diesel.
Not really my personal taste. I'm a starter so this is my time to prove myself to be able to ask for bigger/better cars in the future.

I'm only doing company miles on the Polo (or have to pay high taxes)
So the Tib is def. staying. Only becoming a hobby/weekend car.

From the outside it's a small car, but is actually quite roomy inside.

It's not to bad driving it. It gives some power between 2k and 4k rpm's wink1.gif
It's a around 60 mile trip back and forth (excluding customer trips), but with loads of trafficjams of course..
So happy about the tibs milage! Not shooting up like crazy!

And yes the company is paying for gas, although I still have to collect my pass for it...
