No he wants a supercharged or at least twin turbo-ed V12 something or other, he realises now how low he was aiming.

True, he didn't know what he didn't know.

I did 2 months in a buzzbox tin can then moved up to something a bit more sensible. Quality of life improved immeasurably. When it comes to living in that part of the World I feel its sometimes the little things that mean so much.

I think if everyday was a 5-10km drive around the city area today I would try and stay close to a metro station and make use of that.
