Aquada?

That's what we like to see, thinking outside the box.

Or even considering the original constraints - £15k

Public sector project management at its best!

I've been at the MoD too long.

A little over budget, but this one looked good when we saw it in Venice the other week.

The pictures don't do it justice. Really

I don't think my budget would cover the tender for that! It is rather pretty though.

One of my drinking associates here on the mainland was hired as a contractor by Blohm and Voss to manage the suppliers for the luxury yachts on order.

His orignial role was to sort the best price, that's now been changed to negotiating the penalty clauses down based on all the cancellations.

I think he's walked now due to stress cos I haven't seen him in a while.

What's the deal regarding TVR's since that Russian tw@t let them go bankrupt? Spares and servicing? Residual values?

No issues - both readily available. Since the factory went under a whole extra network of suppliers and garages appear to have sprung up.

There's a lovely green E type Jag for sale locally.

Did I mention that it's Green?

And, unfortunately, £35k.

It's not a Jag, it's a Jaaaaaaag.

Actually, having seen that clip I can just imagine ZG in a Jaaaaaaag

Boat or car....

So, say I have around 15k to buy myself a toy. Narrowed it down to either a 30ft-ish sailing boat, or a TVR Cerbera.

Boat:

Pros:
Great to have the odd cheeky day off work and pretending to be a pirate

Cons:
Mooring fees, maintenance etc.

TVR:

Pros:
It's a TVR Cerbera

Cons:
I might just look like a slightly overweight, middle aged, balding man driving a nice car.



Feel free to quote this post and add any other pros and cons


Thank you so much for your anticipated assistance.

General rule of thumb :-

If it F***s, Floats or Flies - Rent it !

That's the sad bit: so can we all. Imagine; our very own Zeity cruising slowly along the Mumbles with his lustee in the passenger seat, her gazing adoringly at him as his claws gently tear holes in the knee of her woolly tights.

If only he'd go out there, part-exchange his shuttlecraft, pick up his new 2nd hand Jag and collect his admiring girl, then glide gently off into the sunset, toward a quiet B&B on the Gower for a mucky weekend of cross-species medical analysis. <sigh>
