I'm getting tempted by the idea of a Caterham, or maybe one of the bike engined Westfields.

Considering a supercar now costs half as much as a bedsit above a crack den in Hackney, who can blame them!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

No idea.
Depends what they sell in NZ.
Here's a spooky thing..whilst typing this had a call from Ford Sales..."we notice that your car is getting on a bit and wondered if you'd like a new one."
How strange it that ?
I replied "Unless it's going to implode, I can't see any need to replace it before emigrating. And even if I did, I'd buy a rusty old banger to get me by."
Which does make me wonder, I wonder what cars they sell in NZ ?
Probably lots of cheap Jap cars, being so close Japan I guess. I only ever hear good things about the well made Jap cars...Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

I use my money on things/experiences that gratify me and to make more money.Originally posted by DimPrawn View PostSo sas, you admit you are mean with money, you never go down the pub and now you are too tight and boring to own another car.
At least you have your mates like bag-o-pus eh?

Cars, alcohol etc etc are boring and passe.
