1/ I don't live in London
2/I have a drive and a Garage (or Bijou apartment as you might know it)The court heard Darren Upton had written a letter to Judge Sally Cahill QC saying he wasn’t “a typical inmate of prison”.
But the judge said: “That simply demonstrates your arrogance continues. You are typical. Inmates of prison are people who are dishonest. You are a thoroughly dishonestly man motivated by your own selfish greed.”Comment

Admittedly that fact it would never cross my mind to spend 35K on a car of any description means I should probably be staying out of this.Comment

I am kind of cured of my slight car obsession, still get the pangs but not going to blow big money on it again, it just means years more work !
also - no matter how fancy, you get used to any car and it just feels normal after a while.
Best option - different car every 6 months, not necessarily new but new to you e.g. alfa, bmw, mondeo, volvo, anything half decent.
Maybe I have got a short attention span.Comment

Some people are like slinkys, totally pointless but the thought of pushing them down a flight of stairs never fails to put a smile on your face.Comment
