sure I read that was what you were doing in a previous unrelated topic.
makes not a bit too me what you do, some companies can be a little bit funny
about that BUT with a mileage allowance I personally don't see a problem.
plus if it is courier work they usually have to be white hence ....

oh, and I have a lovely mwb with a nice low ratio ideal for country lanes
(and off road) and those winter conditions we sometimes get. Mind you, its a
bugger on motorways, you really have to turn the radio up loud to cover that
engine noise and you spend half your time wondering why the 6/7/8 gears are
not there.

well I wrote the above last night and miss-sent it, have checked to-day at 
work and I can't really help, not much of a salesman but it would be a waste 
of my time and yours going any further. I have however passed your 
requirements onto 3 mates in the business and they said they will get back 
too me if they can help. hope it goes well for you
