Default Feeling after my first week.

Friggin awesome!
The world is collapsing, companies are going through hard tiimes and we are all doomed if we listen to the media. So what do I do? Buy a 993TT. Buck the trend! My personal banker went white when I told him
I never listen anyway, ask my wife.
This car is amazing. So fast and sure footed. I'm so glad I never went for the 996TT. The build quality is the same as my last 6 P cars. The smells, bangs, rattles and so on are all still there.
I am going to pull the evaporator and replace it with the help of a mate. That will be a lot of fun I'm sure.
Once the air con is sorted I will have the perfect car.
Thats my rant.
Have a great day, and turn the radio and telly off at news times.

Why don't you give your banker a ride. I am sure he will change his mind quick.

I offered him a ride but I think he thinks we are a bit like boy racers and always drive fast. Well, sometimes maybe.

Viggo, yes it is a worthy replacement mate. I love this car.

Congratulations.

How is the south end of the Commonwealth riding out the storm? I haven't seen anything in the papers.

Rinty,
Well, the media say we are all doomed, yet petrol is cheaper now and it's summer. Seriously, it's not really that bad from where i see it. I own a retail store and yes some people are tightening up, but those with a few bucks are still spending.
I use to have some money, and now it's sitting in the garage
I will do my bit for the economy.

Likewise. I just bought a bunch of ski equipment which I don't need, and yesterday, a bunch of furniture we don't need.

The consumer spending forecasts for my province are quite positive, even though our energy industry has been hit hard.

How many investments actually make you feel great? Good choice!
