So, I have left one job and have started another. This one needs a lot more driving and day one started with a 300+ mile trip down to Exeter. Had the pleasure of one of the directors in the car with me most of the way down and most of the way back. I don't mind company in the car and on many occasion having someone to talk too can make a long journey seem much shorter but not really for this one. he didn't seem to want the radio or any music on and was more interested in talking to his customers on the phone or tapping away at emails and texts. I know he has work to do but it did make the journey so much longer sitting in silence. We got a bit of conversation going but not as much as would be preferred. Didn't help that I have a cold and a fluffy head, not nice being in the car for that long when you don't feel well!!
On the plus side, I do have a new car. Its a bright red Skoda Yeti and despite its peculiar van like shape and ridiculous ground clearance its actually a nice car to drive, full leather interior, air con, decent stereo and other toys. Only got it for a few months until I work out what I want and get it ordered but it will do. Only down side is the economy, 50mpg on a good run is not enough, will have to do better with the next one.
