And what's wrong with a £150 Volvo with 205k on the clock?

Apart from the astronomical oil leak?

(Pint & a half a week at the moment ).

Try Slick 50 oil treatment. Can stop the leak if it's not huge.

Scroll down a few and you'll find the stuff you need.

Pah. Call yourself a contractor? You'll be lusting after a Skoda Diesel next...

I was planning on trading up when I retire

Skoda vRS - Excellent car. Forget about snob value, try driving one and prepare for a hoot - kills almost anything in the mid-range.

I tried to tell her we'd be better off with a £150 volvo estate...

Mrs Spartacus is quite keen on a new chariot. Seems a bit flashy to me...

[DaveB]

I don't know, but Mrs Lucifer seems to be making a valiant effort to find out by laying in a massive supply in plenty of good time.

Mine seems to think that flash cars make a good investment. Keeps eyeing up BMW's

I tried to tell her we'd be better off with a £150 volvo estate and money in the bank/ISA/Whathaveyou but she wont have it.

What use is loads of shoes when you retire?

I recommend getting your money from a Securitas van. This time of year they often let people help themselves. Make sure you take a table leg in a plastic bag for exchange.

Make sure it is a sterilised 4 x 2 or you may get sued if the van driver catches something.

But remember to take them with you when you move house.

Thats where I have been going wrong.

I've found a solution is to prise up floorboards in your bedroom and fill it with loaded shoeboxes.

Are you mad ? An ISA is a terrorist organisation. If you go and ask for one of those at the bank they will blow your head off. Now, let's look through the round window.

[EternalOptimist]

Dont listen to the jabber, what he is suggesting is probably illegal if not downright dangerous.

Get as much into ISA's as you can then start saving in long term accounts. Go for 300k but dont get a private pension, theyre all baloney.
