Of course

Cowboi, yeah, been a mental & physical strain the past 4 years, what with the case and treatments for my nerves.

Glad its finally come to an end. Time to start my life

Booking my HGV with the money, and in the meantime buying a van so i can do some courier contracting work.

Priorities are the car and a 42" plasma though

Yep, spot on

Always wanted a plasma, I remember when my local electrical shop had one of the first ones yeeeeeears ago, and i remember walking in and just standing there speechless drooling away

Then last year i went into a computer shop, when HD ready plasmas came on the scene, and he had the PC running through the plasma, and it looked fooking mint. So that, and the above made me want one.

As for the car......well, that's been a dream of mine since i got into cars 8 years ago Always wanted an early 90's street beast, clean and unmolested, but with somethign a bit savage under the bonnet.....purely to provoke a reaction from people i have banter with, them asking 'What the fuck is that?!'

Fair play mate - but if you haven't got your own house I'd put that money towards a deposit if I were you if you have got your own place then stuff it - go for it !!!
