Ben, here it is...SimonMaidenhead said:
Ok, just to throw another option into the fire, have you thought about a Jag XK8 or even an XKR, great fun and bloody quick aswell 
should be easily achievable on your budget
I borrowed an XKR for a couple of weeks - Ben's S3 would have flattened it for handling! should be easily achievable on your budgetEdited to correct: Ben driving his S3 would have flattened it for handling!

This one's even in Maidenhead so you could view it in a lunhbreak although might be an acquired taste as far as colour combo (must say that I have ever seen it around here, and it would be hard to miss)

I reckon that'll need a new engine within a month of being driven everyday... it's criminal to do so few miles in that car...And, just to be clear, I never wanted a yellow car, just ended up with one somehow

Back on topic (sorry) i've just had a call from my mum in Caversham. She's out getting sand bags filled (with sand in fact). The Environment Agency dropped by earlier, after three phone calls, to say that she's likely to be wading to the kitchen sink by tomorrow morning so she needs to put some sand bags in place.
They're expecting the river to rise 5 feet
this evening and tomorrow morning.

That's not funny - my boat is moored in Wargrave... They're expecting the river to rise 5 feet

Thankfully your boat floats, my mum's house is rather heavier... but i suggest you get down to Wargrave asap and do what you can to secure your boat so that if the river does come up five feet you minimise any risk of runaway or damage.

this evening and tomorrow morning.Alot of people at willowtree mariner have had problems in the past where they havent come to slacking off the mooring ropes whilst the water level rises above the jetty. They end up capsizing if it gets high enough or they take onboard alot of water.
I hope no-one gets flooded
The river has already burst it's banks at Bourne End. Apparently the worst is likely to be coming through tomorrow.
On a side note Yahoo has this slightly worrying story
