Default Fantastic weather, so I decided to treat myself.

Well what a fantastic day, weather has been brilliant, nice and warm and sunny throughout. So after a brief think I decided to buy my dream car that I have been eye balling for the past week.
Basically I had decide to have a career change and switch from cars to property, im still thinking along them lines but have decided to have a break for now and just enjoy a little of lifes luxuries if you like.
Hope you like it, as it had not yet sunk in for me, but never the less im pleased

Thanx for the comments guys, I really am glad I decided to buy it.
The reason I went for a left hand drive is because I feel its more unique, plus no MR2 is left hand drive, so that will shut up those who question
PETE: did you get the indicators?
STEVE: your right it looks that way, but its there I promise.
Staffi: Yes mate extreme sold a few weeks back.
I wish I knew how to download a live sound file, but I dont, but truct me its load and has a lovely sound.

Proberbly not to eveyones taste, but thanx for the kind words.Thanx again

Thanx again. John where have you been mate, long time?
Thanx for the comment buddy, im delighted and thankfull.
As for over time, I think its me that needs to catch you

like I said it may not be to everybodies liking as we all have or own tastes and prefferances. Sadly there is allot of jealously also, its sad to be honest but something that will have to be lived with by all of us I suppose.

Me personnally, I would be happy for anybody who has honestly earned there living and buys themselves something to show for it, being a house car or clothing etc.

Again thankyou all for such nice comment, great community in here
