Pete, inspirational as always.

How long are you managing to lay on the mat for and have you tried standing on it yet?

To those unfamiliar with these things, they are surprisingly relaxing.
How do they compare to an actual acupuncturist?

I've never been to one as cynical, but would try a mat.

Are you in with the guys from Peterborough and the property stuff? They seem to have quite a few car guys on board.I'm just starting out in property with a goal to replace my income and provide for my little boy. Threads like yours are more inspirational than you probably to know to folks like myself. Thank you.

Do you ever find tenants creating issues just to get you round in various tasty machinery?

I'll go out on a limb and guess that's not quite what happens.


Haggling over £25 a month with a guy who lives in a castle on a cloud and who arrived on a carbon fibre unicorn isn't a good look. hehe

Proper acupuncture is very targeted on the problem area. The mat is more general but once you have it you can use it at your own convenience.
I have back problems relating to the discs, causing the muscles to tighten. The mat helps free them off but also relaxes and calms you generally.

Any updates on the Lusso? Haven't seen that mentioned in a while.

Also, when are you expecting the Singer DLS? What a machine that'll be.

Now this... I shouldn't need to say much ????
That car appeared very recently on UTube. One of Shmee's mates is selling it - came across as a really decent bloke too. On Shmee's channel.

Its good to get out of your comfort zone, not so sure about spiky doormats though, I just tend to achieve the same thing by pissing the wife off.

I am getting into running as decided to do a sponsored thing Prostate for cancer this month, well out of my comfort zone.
This is a fantastic thing to do buddy. Also the running is pretty cool too laugh

Thank you, I’m only supposed to be on it for about 12 minutes but I pretty much always fall asleep on it so after 30 minutes I’m pretty much a cripple haha.

I actually find it better than an acupuncturist as I’ve done it before and and it did sod all for me.

Nope, I’m in with my mates from North Manchester. Been mates since school and we’re a tight bunch.
I appreciate what you’re trying to do for your little boy but I’ve got a different view on it if you want to private message me, I’m happy to discuss with you.

Hahaha no never, I have a simple formula that makes it affordable for my tenants and they never need anything replacing. It’s all about building solid foundations.

Yes, in fact James has just messaged me tonight with a few videos of it under resto.
I’m expecting another 8 or so months and a few more hundred grand until it’s done haha.

The singer will be about 14 months away. Everything is on back order in the car world. I was supposed to get my SF90 and 812 GTS in April but the SF90 has only just gone onto the production line earlier this morning!!!!

My 1M which will be swapped over with my newly acquired M2 CS next week. The family wagon is the Bentayga though, best 4x4 on the road in my opinion. However opinions are like aholes though hey, everyone’s got one and some of them stink haha. Some might say the Rangey or the Cullinan, but I love the Bentayga.

Just a quick update

I’m picking up my M2CS on Wednesday, the LFA some time in a few weeks and my 275 end of the month when THJ gets back off holiday.
I’m also launching my own podcast/YouTube channel where I’ll have lots of my friends on it like Oli Webb, Tamar Hassan, Jodie Kidd, Emile Heskey and other special guests like Max Chilton and Marino Franchetti. We will be talking about my cars one at a time and see what it’s like living with these cars.
It won’t be crap like “I bought a new car” or “why I’m selling said car”
It’ll be pretty cool with some actual proper rare cars.
Oh and I’ll have a load of updates for the 250 Lusso soon, there’s over 200 pictures though so don’t know whether to put it in it’s own thread.
