    2 dogs here, to be honest it really isnt that much more hassle, as most dogs get on with each other and theyll enjoy each others company, downsides are you need more tennis balls, poo bags, and a bigger car to take them with you places, also one dog is greedy and will nick the others food so segregation at feed time is needed and im thinking of building a kennels for them outside for after walkies so they dont stink the house out ( its a small house)

    Gotta say im never in so much of a hurry that i have to overtake, and i like driving fast, but theres a time and a place for that. Having seen some of the mess made in Russia where overtaking seems mandatory whether safe to do so or not and its gone wrong, well like i say im never in that-much of a rush

    Lots of rs6s there!
    I’d have to buy a farm in the Yorkshire dales and keep pigs, ride bikes mess round with land rovers and drink beer in the warmer months, I’m lucky enough to have all the bikes and cars I want, So I’d spend the rest taking or sending my friends and family on fab hols with a first port of call being a month in the Rockies snowboarding.

    got a 90 tdi here bought as a fun weekend toy been loads of fun greenlaning offroading and general countryside adventures, van like so good at carrying loads, towing trailers etc. cheap to buy but maintenance can be a chore, just got a £1300 bill for chassis welding and other major service items!
    wouldnt use it for long daily distances as theyre a bit quirky

    to be fair I am a stock market novice, unit trusts are definitely worth a look in, i think ill wait and see what happens on this as it would be a purely speculative investment and I wouldnt be putting all eggs in one basket so to speak

    having got into mega debt in my twenties I now keep the balance of 50% salary on mortgage/bills/food/car and 50% disposable much of which ends up in savings though did blow a huge chunk on a trip to NZ for a couple of months earlier in the year, tis true tho that more money does not equal more happiness!
