Being serious, I'm not sure if this is a good move or not; I put my stake in a new business venture instead of anymore property on the basis that if I live to 75-80 it'll 'Hopefully' have done well enough to retire on, as it's not physically demanding and I'd go stir crazy if I finished now. I don't really want to do stocks and shares, I don't understand them enough to make much and this seems the best course of action....but who knows, but then if you don't take a risk you just tread water.

Ok, perhaps more 911 based ones then. Never looked at boxa for obvious reasons

Cycled through Bradford a number of times in my youth. No what you mean those pot holes would wreck a Ferrari. :driving: :D

You do know what you've just done?
At 6.05pm you will receive a 20 page reply from 'sonny delight' telling you exactly how you should be doing things (without too much information as it's privileged and secret), where you have been going wrong all these years, and lots of other utterly boring shite. :)
All good things come to those who wait. I'm really impatient which explains a lot.

You want challenging, try the Aston Martin forum. It will come as no surprise that I didn't last long.
They look down on everyone even more than Sonny does and have about the same lack of humour.

At least john can move to Bradford, he is in Yorkshire after all so a small step for him.

Bit unfair on Bradford though, haven’t these people suffered enough already?

With all his accidents, he has all the right skills needed already to move there. He can join the cash for crash lot for that extra income.
