Obviously the same in reverse occurred when he wanted to take it out. I think it lasted six months.
    True story.

    I worked with a permie guy who bought himself a Magnum PI style Ferrari. It wouldn't fit in the single garage of his modest semi, so he had the whole of the downstairs dining room and attached garage converted into a double garage to allow him to park it in the house.

    Man he loved that car. Probably why his wife left him in the end.

        That's what he said. He planned on having the living room converted for his dream Porsche.

            I wouldn't bother, you'd still end up in the arse end of nowhere without any fuel.

                I ran out of fuel and joined the AA who charged me £180, which I moaned about but was my own fault.

                  I think I preferred the extended feature length version.
