There would be many more cars to choose from wouldn't there? You could buy a car from anywhere in Europe from there and drive it home.

Nope, you can't, really. I'll give you a few minutes to think about why (it's not the water!)Vilante wrote:There would be many more cars to choose from wouldn't there? You could buy a car from anywhere in Europe from there and drive it home.

If you're happy to live with a LHD car then there's no reason not to. Heaps of LHD Ferraris getting around the UK. And things like the E30 M3 were never built in RHD but there's a bunch of those on UK roads too.ysu wrote:Nope, you can't, really.

Not sure why depreciation in the UK is so huge. Part of it could be rust but then heaps of other places in Europe and North America should suffer the same fate. Part of it could be insurance prices. as far as i know, it's mandatory to have comprehensive insurance (not just CTP like here) and insurance costs blew out big time over the last 15 to 20 years making some cars that are cheap up front horribly expensive to own (not to mention the normal running costs involved with a prestige or exotic). My wife works at the ABS in CPI and has access to all sorts of data. She looked into it and apparently it was only in the late 90s that massive depreciation really started to hit in the UK. Maybe some locals can shed some light?

He recently sold his Riviera, maybe it was to buy a Ferrari.

No it wasn't.... will sort a new boat first... never will a car take precedence over a boat. How else will I get sambo to shit himself worrying about the common threat of being torpedoed by a submarine... lucky there were no fucking icebergs visible that day...w00dsy wrote:DexterPunk wrote:Good plan, let me know how that goes for ya.

I wasn't worried about torpedo's I was mearly wondering about the chance of a submarine surfacing straight into one of the tankers and whether or not it had ever happened. ITS A LEGITIMATE QUESTION.

a legitimate question once... the 53rd incarnation of the same question was deeply concerning...
more concern about submarines than the fact had we sunk we would have had to swim to shore past one of the countries biggest great white shark nursery....
