Currently working with a really cool Pacific Islander called....

Thy Will Be Done

I think if it all kicks off he will lead the charge with a broadsword

Dave!

He is morphing into a weird snow tiger and soon will be hunting wild game at night as you sleep.

Dave!

Tile floor, the best thing I ever did in my garage.

If you back butter, ooh sexual, the tile they don't crack when you drop heavy stuff on them.

Dave!

That looks like great fun 😎

I just did my first bit of airsoft CQB and the eldest is a bit of a natural shot so stepping stones to grown up stuff like you're doing 😎

It's a huge job to keep the "general public" happy so I'm more impressed by you wanting to organise it more than the achievement of ...

I was randomly browsing cars a few weeks ago and a nice 928 came up, relatively low miles and it was only in the mid 20's. I thought they cost far more than that but then again it was an auto and I just assume old automatics are hateful in anything vaguely performance orientated.


If you drive ...

Unbelievable about of work for something that you’d think would be simple!

The seals are literally barely more than £1 each. There's some incidentals too of course, but it's mostly all down to the massive amount of labour, which in turn is due to it being a V8 and the heads being very close to ...

Didn't he have the TransAm and a penchant for burnouts outside of school?

I used these for some Renault bits and was very pleased.

Dave!

That's the problem, I'm really enjoying the Clio and we are doing a fair amount of miles in it, over 1000 miles a month and we both don't commute and walk to the shops and school etc.

It would have to be seen as an investment as that's what I'd be comparing it to.

Possibly not the right fit then ...

The Merc always used whenever I wanted, this would be purely planned trips and shows etc.

I already have some investments, already have a rental and want a safe spot to invest in. I'd like to think I wouldn't be overly cautious but it wouldn't be out in winter at all. Possibly a shame but trying ...

The Kimera as it looks like a 1980s design of a futuristic supercar

Dave!

Lots to think about there!

I did fit in a VX220 years ago but some racing booties would be needed.

Oddlybthe Elise doesn't seem affected by the river counter brigade but a fair few "must haves" are needed, much appreciated Scott.

Time to do some digging.

Dave!

Great result however the road to get there

Dave!

Having a car which doesn't depreciate and increases in value with inflation is one thing but will it offset tax, insurance and servicing? Probably not.


It will hopefully offset its capital gains tax though if it were in shares etc. I can't do tax free ISAS

Insurance and servicing at my old ...

That's a good point, there's a decent supply and still in the relatively cheap category.

It's just another place to put investment money that's a bit more interesting. So need to be more sensible.

What would be low mileage on most people's weekend car anyway ??

An M3 was always someone's ...

What are people's thoughts on a standard 120hp one as an investment/ don't lose any money on car ?

Keep one for 10 years, make enough to counter inflation with minimal summer only use ?

What do the Elise folk on here think would be a good set of conditions to choose one on ?

My own thinking ...

I still find it strange that you can chop or change roles within government.

It's like me being a chief draughtsman and then deciding to be the accountant.

Dave!

A Testarossa can be white or yellow if it's the single
Mirror version, to be fair a 512 TR should be black or red but that blue and orangey interior is a lovely combination.

In conclusion, lots of cars look good in lots of colours.

Dave!

The M3 stance, perfection

Dave!

I'm not sure if it's just Renault thing but there are lots of fake Bosch injectors about for them. Bad spray patterns and the resistance is different which oddly stops you engaging the cruise control.

Dave!
