Soopra Posted March 25, 2012 Share Posted March 25, 2012 Currently I park in the car park where I work. This is a secure car park with someone on site 24 hours a day and CCTV. From 2nd April my employer has advised us that we are no longer allowed to park on site and must use a public (swimming pool) car park that's about 1/4 mile away. No one one site and no CCTV. And its a swimming pool. Rant 1 - exactly how safe is my car going to be here? not at all. having nightmares about it being stolen, and if that doesn't happen all those mothers, with children and push chairs in the car park. ARRGGGGGHHHH Rant 2 - we have to pay for this "pleasure"... company says they will pay for the first 3 months (we have to claim through expenses) but after that its £4 per day, £20 per week, £80 per month. ARRGGGGGHHHH I will be catching the bus to and from work (which is almost door to door) and it will in fact save me over £50 per month at current fuel prices (this is kind of a win, but i would prefer to be driving my Supra) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Abz Posted March 25, 2012 Share Posted March 25, 2012 Get the bus you will enjoy the Supra more, I am glad I don't have to drive every day to work! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Josh Posted March 25, 2012 Share Posted March 25, 2012 I'd say bus it too. Have a nice chill in the morning and evening without the hassle of driving, then have the Supra as a weekend car as per what Abz said Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soopra Posted March 25, 2012 Author Share Posted March 25, 2012 Plus I'll be better off so will have more money to spend on the Supra, and I know he will be safe at home all day Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Soopra Posted March 25, 2012 Author Share Posted March 25, 2012 are the pool owners or whoever runs it aware? prety sure they wouldnt want people not useing the pool parking there. they usualy have a maximum stay time too. not completely sure on the answer to that. however its a public car park with no security so i don't think they can stop us parking there Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Supra Gaz Posted March 25, 2012 Share Posted March 25, 2012 I use pubic (yes i left out the 'L' for a reason) to get to work, it makes the Supra more special and i am happy knowing my toy is safe and sound on the drive under its cover.
