    Holiday Thread

    Off to Florida in two weeks time for a week then a week on a cruise in the Caribbean with my new partner. She has never been on a cruise before so it is going to be very special. I've done it all before with my late wife but really looking forward to this one.

    The watch thread.

    So after having my Rolex Day Date watch ripped off my wrist by a scroat in Barcelona a few years ago I have decided to now get another.

    Purely as an investment...

    These were the exact colours offered...............Avus Silver, Phantom Black, Mauritius Blue or Misano Red body colour. Mine is Red and I have fitted leather seats so as to preserve the Recaro seats which I have stored in the house. Mine has done 69 thousand miles so doubt mine would fetch 20K!

    Purely as an investment...

    Audi TT Quattro Sport, only 800 made, (200 red 200 black 200 blue 200 silver). Available for around 10K at the moment, price will rocket.

    Capital Gains Tax for non tax payer

    I believe the specific figure they use is £1000. When you own more than that for this year they charge you 50% for next year. Under £1000 and you don't pay it now.
