Two other things to consider...

1. You'll lose some money just by changing car

2. Speak to Gareth!

3. I am sure the jealousy issue will not be one.
Am I the only one to spot Nick's deliberate mistake?

Depends on how old your children are....and what time you give yourself.

I have 2 kids (11 and 7) so either can hop in the car. To relieve the stress of work I either go for a very long bike ride (40 - 50 miles) very early in the morning at weekends (i.e. 6am) or go for a 'run' with like minded friends with similar 'fun' cars. These trips are usually at night when there is minimal traffic and that's when we really nail the cars. Both activities are exhilarating.

The S is also used for commuting when the weather is good. Its the beater when its not.

3 cars are very much worth the effort in our house as we use them all in equal measures, and life is too short to 'have' to travel in a people wagon.

There were two things when I typed the first sentance... and then the third appeared from no where!

At the end of the day mate... you know if it needs to go or not.

Quite often....

Drive to the golf club.

Drive to the footy.

Drive to the shops.

Drive to the country for fun.

I don't really want to use the S for work as I don't like turning up to new clients in it - if I can keep the green eyed monster at bay then that can only be a good thing!
I am sorry, but I just don't get this??

Do your clients wait outside for you to turn up?

In 99% of client meetings that I go to the client never see's my car.

When they have they have been fine about it. Everyone has to make a living, and it is a sign that you are doing well and your business must be too?
