    I think my time is done on here. I have met many of you and been on some good events. Shared my experiences of saving a Maserati and helped many people who have messaged me needing advice. I'm certainly not a big headed no it all and have better things to do. Phil.

    Has anyone here driven the latest Jag XJR? (X351)

Puts a bad taste in my mouth as I know I'm far from perfect but I know I have never bullied or abused anyone on here and continually offer...

    Now I'm living permanently in France I want left hand drive since the UK leaving the EU getting a car from anywhere other than a member state is just not worth the hassle. I saw a QP5 running driving project in the USA for $2,000. I'm like you Loz I like a value for money project.

    For many years being self employed in the UK and people wanting to pay in cash all the ones that went in my pocket were mine I only ever banked cheques. My cash all went back into the local economy though.

    For me and the 221 others that got sucked into the chaos of carbon credits we've been using a firm of solicitors on a no win no fee basis and they have been good but at a cost fees and vat for me in December £31,500. The advisor that got me into this mess was basically just a mortgage advisor...

    Good morning everyone and being back in my home with the Cuisinière going and fresh coffee is the millionaire lifestyle for me. How I got sucked back in to rat race that quickly again is like a blur just happened so quickly. Enjoy your Saturday all and Newton I hope all goes well for you mate.
