          I used to have a TT Aero - superb motor.
          ...my quagmire of greed....my cesspit of laziness and unfairness....all I am doing is sticking two fingers up at nurses, doctors and other hard working employed professionals...

            The first one reads:
            Be first owner in the UK of this extreamly clean and stunning Mazda RX7 Type R Turbo, Handpicked fresh import direct in from Japan.
            Might not be UK spec though. Japan scraps cars after so many years and the good ones get factory refurbished then go as cheap exports. A definite favourite in the third world, but perhaps not up to UK spec. The one I drove had a bell somewhere behind the dashboard which made an annoying chime if you went over 100 Km/h.
            Behold the warranty -- the bold print giveth and the fine print taketh away.

              I've had a few Jap imports.

              Remove speed limiter, recalibrate speedo to MPH, fit rear fog light, etc, not rocket science and most import companies do this, get it registered here and MOT'd so its all legit.

                SY01,

                I'm also approaching mid life crisis time, 40 next year !!!!

                Have the Mrs's sign off for a toy.

                Some of the ones on my list of potentials... not necessarily in order of preference...

                . 80's Bobby Ewing Mercedes SL

                . MX5

                . Alfa Spyder

                . Landrover Defender - wanted on since childhood and still want to join an offroading club


                A neighbour has the Alfa and it's a beauty - he also has a 2cv (mentioned already)

                The Bobby Ewing Merc, those things are bullet proof and will run long after we've all
                left this planet, spares will never end, and these days considered a 'young timer' in Germany.

                MX5's also bullet proof and cheap as chips, £3k will pick up a top spec one just look on AutoTrader...

                Used MAZDA MX-5 Car for Sale - Auto Trader UK


                The Landrover, well it's probably going to be a Defender, ideally 300tdi - no electrics in the engine, something like this would be nice, but this is pricey...

                Left Hand Drive 4x4 New and Used Vehicles supplied by Nene Overland


                Decisions decisions eh


                Keep us informed Suity, this is a subject close to my heart as I approach my mide life crisis

                Milan.

                  Here you go:

                  Brexit is having a wee in the middle of the room at a house party because nobody is talking to you, and then complaining about the smell.

                    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.”
