- Company Cars.
- -------------
-
-
- To the casual observer there is little or no difference between a
- company car and the ordinary private car. But here is a list of
- some of the things that a company car can do that private cars
- cannot.
-
- Did you know, for example, that a company car will travel
- faster in all gears, especially reverse? They also acceler-
- ate at a phenomenal rate and enjoy a much shorter braking
- distance.
-
- Ramps prove no hindrance as company cars can take them at
- twice the speed of ordinary cars. And they have a much
- tighter turning circle.
-
- Battery, water, oil and tyre pressures do not need to be
- checked nearly as often. Indeed, a company car can be
- driven up to 100 miles with the oil warning light flashing.
-
- Company cars do not need to be garaged at night and they
- require cleaning less often, especially inside. To this end
- the floor is shaped like an ashtray.
-
- They only burn petrol with the highest Green Shield rating.
-
- A special adaptation is incorporated to allow reverse gear
- to be engaged whilst the car is still moving forwards.
-
- On construction company cars the suspension is reinforced to
- allow the carriage of concrete slabs and other heavy build-
- ing materials.
-
- Tyre walls are specially designed to allow bumping into and
- over curbstones.
-
- The quality of paintwork is such that scratches and dents
- are not noticeable and they are immune to accidents.
-
- Company cars need no security. They may be left anywhere,
- unlocked and with the keys in the ignition.
-
- Despite the superior specification of company cars, there may be
- times when they produce alarming engine noises. This is easily
- eliminated how ever by adjusting the volume control of the radio.
