Offline | Thats certainly it - I realised that once and since have just waited and saved up for what I really want. There is no point making do - I'd rather work harder, go without and wait a while in order to get exactly what I want. I've waited nearly 3 years for some things, but it has made me appreciate them all the more. ![]() The Original MINI One Seven |
