    Admittedly the 4 years of negitiations could only have been handled in a worse way if the RAF had bombed Brussels.

    Maybe not uncaring, but possibly a bit flippant where people's livelihoods are at stake.

    Happy one of these would involve building a new garage, otherwise I'd have a difficult decision to make. Shocked they're shorter than a 996.

    Cost him something like £65k to build in the noughties and that's because he did a lot of the work himself.
