I was wondering what music he likes.

I heard he loves a little underground house.

Strange - I heard he was more into Yodelling.

I'd like that a lot... if it had a V8 in it.

It does rather look like your Dad now needs a chauffeur however.

They don't call him the West Midlands Fritzl for nothing.

To a degree - the other main source of tax receipts is VAT and those paying the most income tax will also be paying the lions share of VAT as well (plus CGT.. unless your name is Angela), though I take your point that low earners are not exempted from that. In many ways it would be more equitable to...

I say give everyone what they want and let the 5% provide all 😎 This is pretty much the system we have. Most of the population don't pay their fair share of tax at this point. 53.8% are net receipients of hand outs from the state and over 40% pay no income tax at all. Maybe we need to invert the ol...

Seems like we've been lucky with Easter Holiday school timings this year and my son's school has later dates than most others. As a result everything seems to be priced lower in Portugal at the moment and I upgraded the hire car to "C class or equivalent". Rather surprisingly we actually g...

Can confirm the 640 was awesome.



The MP4 2B was also excellent!

Will upload a few more pics at some point once I’ve regained my hearing after the can am demo!

The mileage discrepancy seems to just be one MOT with no mileage recorded. All the others are consistent. I have a mileage discrepancy on the 330, thanks to an MOT tester typing 133,000 instead of 113,000 one year :roll: I wonder if there is a way of rectifying such a discrepancy. Issue is likely e...

You need someone to help with your diary!

Turbo cars are notorious for needing new turbos aren't they. Trying to remember whether that was 993 or 996 but probably both - issuing being that they're low to the ground and get immersed in water and other shit which weld the wastegates shut IIRC.

No takers?

@IanF I know you're a member of the GRRC - not going this year? If you need a lift let me know!

I will be going along on Saturday with my son. Anyone else of this parish attending?

Looking forward to the CanAm demonstration and seeing the T50 for the first time. Mainly though i'm excited to see this do a demo lap:

Actually - I smell an opportunity here... Ian my friend... I have a very exclusive members club - GGAutos. Its a mere £10,000 p.a. buy in and you get annual usage of my 911 and Range Rover and whole 100 miles per year! 50% the cost and double the mileage of those other chancers. If you're on board I...

I find that much above 7/8% the taste tends to suffer, e.g. Westmalle Dubel is excellent - tripel somewhat less so.

When do I get barred from the thread for enjoying Bud?

Immediately

I remember going on a trip to Belgium as a 14 year old on a school trip. That was eye opening for some kids whose only drinking experience was Fosters in the local pub

The thing with these schemes is that if you're wealthy enough to buy in you're wealthy enough to buy or rent the car so in effect they're pointless.

Effectively a grand a day with an averaged out limit of 50 miles per day.

You'd have to be a stupendous moron.

What everything?? Including the 430?

Borrow one of your brother's cars. Don't do it in the Smart. You'll either end up dead or wishing you were dead.
