Congratulations Matt!

Don't buy an RS if you want to keep your money though! (but you already know that)

It's being sold off in kit form Matt - THIS IS NOT AN ADVERT!

I'm not having a nice car for a while - got more important things to spend money on like my business and house

Congratulations again though dude, your degree was in accounting wasn't it so this job sounds like you'll be using the skills you've gained!

Hope it all goes well for you!

Andy

yep - accounting is where its at!

good luck with your business, hope it's going well! it's done me good having a break from cars - means i can afford something special soon rather than struggling through with my fiesta paying monster insurance each year!

you've got it all to come rhys - it's a MAJOR relief landing the first job after you've finished uni. suppose its slightly different for you as your an oldie!
