Isn't wood an early version of carbon fibre?

The Westfield team obviously hadn't done a Morgan factory tour prior to designing it then, so had not learnt the benefits of ash?

I thought you were in charge, just goes to show you're as hen pecked as the rest of us  I've just spoken with Head Office and she has confirmed that I'm in charge of all major decisions like what cars we have and she's in charge of all minor decisions like where we live and the house we live in, etc. Seems fair to me...

Sounds like a fair & reasonable split of empowerment Brian! I have one or two friends in the getting/divorced category who are struggling to find one bedroom apartments with 8 garages!

No I did not know you and Chunkie had a Westfield, good car for hill climbs.   If you get an Ultima I must come a see you at a track day, or race Crunchie Gears (the Westie has a dog-box) has already posted, the FW400 was designed by Martin Ogilivie of Lotus fame and although constrained by financial constraints the result was an interesting car, see www.supercars.net/cars/3289.htmlOur car has a more powerful engine so is seriously quick, maybe you should try it before it's sold as it may surprise you?

Similar problem Roger, we have just moved to an apartment with two underground car parks!  Luckily we have several cunning plans... As for Asbo, he's still struggling to get his quadruple garage plan past his own finance committee!

With my property investor hat on Brian buy up the other apartments when they come available & rent them out with just one parking space each giving you more spaces & you get to control who areyour neighbours!

We did that in the previous block Roger, the problem is that now around here the yield on rented property is just circa 3% so it's no longer interesting

No that's not good Brian. Nearly as bad as bank savings rates!
