There are normally 2 DB9s in our car park but today there are 3.

Only one Ford!

I feel I need my own Spotted thread!

Technically 3 fords then?....the sum of parts and all!

I pulled out the footwell light bulb holder this afternoon and it had Ford written across the side. I wonder how many Ford generic parts are actually in the build?

For HMRC;
3 + 1 = 4

For suppliers;
3 + 1 = 2

For clients
3 + 1 = 6

For press release
3 + 1 = 15 growth over 3 years

For the wife
3 + 1 = shoes

Did you hear about the constipated accountant who had to work it out with a pencil?

Well it depends if you can flog software I suppose!

Defo not a retirement home! One is ours, the other was visiting the dentist next door, and the Vantage lives here as well - well known national franchise.

Telling that the bloke visiting the dentist had the newest car ... and the brightest teeth I suppose!

Given what the dentist charges (root canal and crown the other day) he should be driving one as well!

Nicholas Mee are 200 yds away - so we could have a drive in!

We have been subscription based for several years. Sadly we had 8 years where we sold / charged support and deployed on client premises - all of which is a mugs game! All the grief and no real reward. Had i twigged earlier there would be a new DB9 outside!
