    One of my neighbours is up for sale. I cycle commute past on my way to København. You may need a license to own it though, unless they'll give you a dispensation for if you agree to let the farm-land.
    Insanity: repeating the same actions, but expecting different results.

      I don't think Denmark is big enough for the pair of us...

        Off on a tangent - but maybe if fuel prices keep rising it becomes more attractive to start financing the car + fuel through ltd co once again ?

          Have petrol prices gone up then?
          The missus Toyota Aygo does 60 miles to the gallon. I last filled it up round about March

              No the car's expensive to fill up. No cost for t'other.

                Oh, there's always a price to pay.

                    I must try to drive at 60 instead of 80....
                    I found that since buying as Landrover, I can just about get 35mpg at 70 but it drops to 30 ish at 80!
                    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.

                      I believe they are quite close to being able to make oil using algae or something along those lines. Should be much cheaper than buying from OPEC.

                      Of course OPEC have to be careful, at the moment the cost of oil is almost more than invading a OPEC member country after accusing them of being part of an axis of evil.

                      But then again, it's not like America to make up some evidence to invade a country so they can get cheap oil... is it....
