seriously Capt, your boss is shipping them as bribes to 3rd world countries for projects in those areas (with something inside them),
white powder or other stuff that he is into, your office is just a front to an international money laundering operation and you already
on the Interpol computer.........

i thought most of the UK stuff was shipped to HK for resale, i saw oak leaves on the radiator on a porsche at my bodyshop
and i asked if it was from the UK and they said yeah how did u know, it's C city's stuff, nearly all are from the UK.......

sorry had to spice this up as it was getting pretty intensive.

i think they are shipped for spare parts

He always ask me and my other friend to look out on 28car and car8 website for good MB AMG 2nd hand.
do forget he buys them and owns them for a year in HK and ships them out to sell
eg SL500 cost only 100k in HK and in UK they are going for about 200k so after shipping he makes about 50 to 70k for each car and most of them he sell within 1st week in UK

If this 200K is absolutely free spare money to you. i.e. you don't foresee that you are going to get marry nor going to live in your own home. Go for it. Else, stop being a child and come back to the real world. Hehe ...

when you have calmed down a bit, lets go for a nd man!

I tried to reason w mine but failed every time so its just some generation gap thing. dont get too unhappy abt it. btw have you tried to tell your dad how you felt abt the whole thing. tell him you value his opinion on this matter and ask him what you need to do to get his buy-in

Although my budget is very tight, but 200K is affordable i guess.

I know what you mean,
but i am not a sensible person
I think we should enjoy our life while we're still young,
I think Mark will know what i am talking about.

I reset the fuel consumption km/L on dash
and so far it shows 8.4km/L which is much more then before!
i used to have ~9.4km/L or even 11km/L if i don't push it at all
i wonder it is a computer calculation error
(due to wrong/ abnormal accelerator signal)
or it is the fact that i used more fuel than before?
anyway, i gonna find it out after i finish this tank
i gonna turn it off for the next tank topped up.
so what does the greenlight mode of SBV2 does? econ mode or what?
