It's a dungeon and it's purely there as a tax write off.

You'd get better tax breaks if you redefine it as a R&D facility.

Shame it's not an Avant. Would make a perfect Goth hearse for hire.

If you're eating in your masturbation time then you have bigger problems.

I've not used mine since September last year, it's just sitting in my mates garage.

Just kind of forgot about it I guess.....

Took mine out for a nice little blast to Ludlow yesterday knowing she was going to roll over the - Image.

Had a little play with the police down some country lanes on the way back. Was taking it nice and steady but they were trying to push me, so went up to speed limit where I knew they couldn't argue then nailed it round a damp island knowing their bmw would have no chance of keeping up. Was funny seeing their car doing the wobble coming off the island :lol: They followed me for about another 10 mins then turned off cause I was boring them by going really slow. The passenger cop was even taking pics on his mobile!
