Re: What? Another car thread?

A380 into B'ham... total disaster. The A380 is an awful plane for the pressure it puts on the airport.

Re: What? Another car thread?

Efficiency is key for me: T2 in Dubai is brilliant, as is Birmingham (about as efficient as the UK can do).

I don't want to walk miles or look at things - I want to land and get in a taxi.

Re: What? Another car thread?

Wowzers, some airport nerds here. I don't like travelling through them, I like investing in them and the business model, more generally. They are fantastic businesses if run correctly.

I love airports. Have been a controlling shareholder in one, and developed two.

Re: What? Another car thread?

Absolutely.

The dealer on the as was a small time joker one. He would claim he never knew you if you tried to take it back.

Not really. I'm too young but I'm looking forward to it when it comes. All my friends of the similar age act and dress the same as I do, and I've known them since I was young. I've never understood...

Re: What? Another car thread?

GCC is probably lower spec - haha! (i.e. the Golf Rs are detuned for the middle east due to overheating of the turbos etc).

Re: What? Another car thread?

well yes, on that basis clearly you shouldn't buy it at any price. Remember, you also won't be able to sell it.

Re: What? Another car thread?

Re: What? Another car thread?

I've had several 45ks, a few 50s, and a 52k all unseen. A 55k (seen) and another 55k unseen.

I reckon it will go for 55k to the guy who actually drove it :lol:

Re: What? Another car thread?

I reckon I'm close to selling the FJ. Seems the top is around 55k. So 103->55k in 4.5 years. Not awful, certainly getting more than the deposit back
