Maybe....
I am still in the market, just. An impending house move and career change mean that I'll soon lose an empty double garage and I've got to reserve funds for the move...
Mind you, if I'd been 24 hours quicker on that PI near me a couple of weeks ago (thanks for the heads up Lee
) maybe I'd have found a way to purchase it, since it looked bloody good...

Sounds like you need an estate to help with the house move.
Good luck anyway.

Career change Jim?.............. surely not!
What to?, professional film maker (specialising in utube based car adverts?)
Seriously, sounds like big changes........ where are you going then?

Career break, maybe time for a change of direction, but the house move is because my wife's work is changing location and the commute was already tiring her!
Making short films is fun though

Brave decision to have a break and a change of direction when you are at the level you are Jim, hats off to you.
Retrain as a teacher?,........ I could just see you in a suede jacket with leather elbow patches showing kids how to blow things up in a chemistry lab!!
(bit Mad Uncle Ted, but worth a thought!)

I think that the world deserves but one Mad Uncle Ted...
I think even Ted would admit that

Mark (Cheesy on here) has just sold his lovely mk2 saloon "Horatio". I was going to post the ebay link here for you Jim but it sold so quickly I didn't get chance. Lovely car and I think he sold it too cheaply.

Back in the market!!!
I've been looking for a modern car to replace my now long gone company hack and it's just struck me that I may as well try and find a classic to run on an everyday basis... Only short journeys though, since my wife's Golf will take care of most family miles...

Cheers Colin
By the way, has this beauty, which I sadly missed at the time, since surfaced?
