I never had enough money or time to do everything I wanted to do before the recession ...

... I don't have enough money or time to do everything I want to do now ...

... I'm unlikely to have enough money or time to everything I want to do after it's over.

The "recession" is just business as usual for me. biggrin

Anthony you may laugh but I nearly got caught out by a brabus smart car, it overtook me at 100 mph on the m11, I of course was only going 69 and a half :-)
The smart car has another 5 cylinders to go I think to be a v8, more chance of v 8 all the pies

I hope it's not too windy when he does it, as mine wanders all over the place when it gets hit by the wind and at higher speeds, scary but fun. 140 Blimey

I put V Power in mine, it does seem more responsive compared to standard fuel, but most importantly 99RON produces far more flames, pops and bangs on the overrun. smile
