I have some friends who develop property. They always live in one when it is finished for six months before selling it - apparently this avoids all the capital gains etc but obviously you need to check it out.

what time? Might have been me - although it was late afternoon I was on the A64 going in the other direction later.

Tim's is one that would eventually become a classic!

yep, getting to that time of year unfortunately. Wonder how many bikers will lose their lives this easter bank holiday if its nice weather. Makes me shudder to think of it.

I've met you now though Dave so you're old news! I wanted to see Tim in his 350z shirt and slippers!

The red bit at the end is more like it!

and I know I said I was only going to Wales to meet Beavis but Tim's always been my favourite really!

i quite like the look of the FTO - nice choice!

hopefully I won't get the envelope fingers crossed! Will be a first for me if I do!

i'm bitterly disappointed..............hope she goes to a good home.

What a long weekend for me! 3 and a half hours to get to Martin's (one hour of that parked on the M6!!!!) done over 600 miles this weekend and spent over a hundred quid on fuel (ouch!) Had a great time, thanks to Martin and Liz for the great hospitality, meeting their village idiot and a cooked brekkie this morning! I was tempted to slap Beavis but couldn't bring myself to! Disappointed not to meet some of the people who never made it (Digsy, Mike, Keith!) But at least I got to meet Mr and Mrs Pieman! Definitely a good icebreaker for me and maybe I'm not as geographylexic as i thought........... Oh, and 2 hrs 15 mins back at full pelt down the motorways, only to drive past a hidden police camera van right not far from home doing 36 in a 30! Bummer!

Stew I have a shiny kitchen and I don't bother with any of the products just use E-Cloth system. Thick microfibre cloth damp for wiping it down then a thin glass polishing cloth just buffs it to a complete streak free gleaming finish. Just google e-cloth. P.S brilliant on the car as well. Edit: and remember I am the girl that got the oil smell out of your washing machine so trust me!

and my car will be dirty unless I can persuade Martin to clean it for me as suggested by another member!

Just watched this last night and I was so impressed - there is definitely a natural talent there. The music at the end was great as well. As I said to Jay my only criticism would be the over use of the letter J!

just because they dont wave at other cars doesn't mean they are not enjoying or are not bothered about the car I'll look out for you Stan and wave frantically, infact i'm in Manchester later True, they're probably just terrified of being stalked like a guy I waved to every day for months who ignored me while looking petrified every day!

amazing how many people own nice cars but essentially are not really that bothered! They may as well get a vectra!

That is unbeatable if you ask me! But will you be doing anything special with it later Mr Pie Man?

seen these before they're really good.

I can feel the slap smilie coming on.................

will you be able to abseil off the balcony and onto your boat when you have to go to work? Nothing like getting your own place - enjoy it!

yes, very difficult circumstances indeed. 1200 is a big hit to take though...I feel for all concerned!

and let us know when you're there or all you will here is an echo!

Its just not fair - you should be made to drive at least 2 crap cars for a few years before you get something that nice! It's all part of the motoring experience - especially all the break downs etc........

is that for skiing or mountain climbing?

Got home at ten last night. The massive lecture from last month must have paid off because the house (ok not the bathroom) is actually very tidy! What a trip yesterday, was travelling from 2pm to 10pm. The bit from France to Stansted was the easy bit. Then Stansted to Grantham to pick the car up, then to Belper Derbyshire to take my sister home, then Derbyshire to York. Must admit, the last leg only took an hour which sliced 30 mins off the usual time but the motorways were empty and i hadn't had a drive for a while so did get my foot down! Nice day today thank goodness!
