Absolutely. I mean, you don’t have to recommend a 5.0l IRS-swapped Rover SD1 (as I would if I won a moderate amount of money), but at least recommend something that’s actually fun to drive.

This is my Alfa 156 V6 :) I’ve had it for just over 8 years now, and put 60,000 miles on it inbetween driving other stuff (averaging ~12k miles a year when driving it). It’s currently sitting at a tick over 140k miles.

Must have missed that. Yeah true, although I’ve definitely heard people claim that their engine swap has added no weight but when you press for numbers it’s actually 30kg heavier on the front end. People sometimes have a fuzzy definition of what ‘no weight’ actually is...

Here’s a plan.

Exactly!

First thing I think when I see phrases like that.

Judean People’s Front!

All of these comments about salesmen make me really happy I’ve never had to deal with one for a car.

This article is great Torchinsky.

Interesting. Perhaps a poor example then. I still feel a bit cynical about it. Seems like they took an opportunity to get an easy reputation win.

Definitely this, but the cynic in me is saying that if this was for a car that sold in a volume higher than ‘a handful’ it would be different.

“have a nice wank to clear your head”

Yeah I get that he’ll have no say. I'd just be surprised if Congress weren't of the same opinion.

True, but it’s such a no-brainer idea that I doubt it’s untruthful. It’s just good business to prioritise the most valuable trade deals.

Well, the tanking of the pound would suggest it’s not an over-reaction. It’s not even happened officiaĺly, and the biggest economic problem (whether we’ll be in the common market or not). There’s massive, massive economic risk that could have been avoided entirely.

Ah, never knew that. Yeah it might have a decent effect then :S

Agreed or it will encourage others to leave, or at least sway those that are on the fence.

Good news then! Despite the referendum going the opposite way that I wanted, it would seem that there's a possibility that all the things I think are important (tax-free trade, freedom of movement and the continuation of the UK as we know it) may still remain intact :) fingers crossed.

Interesting. I suppose with a major country leaving the EU it would affect confidence in the other EU countries as well. We'll have to wait and see for the true financial impact of it all after it's actually formally requested and negotiations have taken place.

Much easier said than done unfortunately, and certainly easier when you have a solid consumer base that you can use to fund investment in other markets.
