Fifth gear last night

[Shambolic]

Tiff had a wee race round the track at the Mercedes Place in Surrey in an ML63AMG. He was a bit peed off with the traction control until a Nice guy from the garage disabled it completely!!!
It looks a fantastic place although they didnt show a lot of it on that show as usual too busy with mr Lovejoy being a tw*t!!
Only more sorry I cant make the meet now in Feb:cry: :cry:

Had considered going for a while but family commitments came up and they are on the same weekend!!!
My house is big enough for you all Just dont have a race circuit but I am sure you could use the orchard for some off -roading and the cars could fit in the walled garden which has not been landscaped yet.

And all of you could sleep in the empty barn/stable that is to be converted in the next few years!!! It has 3 rooms with coal fires (it used to be the gardener and servant quarters above where the old horse and carriages went in)

Will post a photo another time as it is on a cd somewhere that I would need to dig out and then upload etc and I am going to make the tea for wifey who is due in shortly!

Gosh it sounds like you live in a mansion

 

[OmniCognateNeutronRangler]

Here is a couple of wee photos We live in the left side at the moment but are doing up the right handside and joining both together with a glass room/walkway between them!!!

Will be lovely when done in about 10 years !!!

Mortgaged to the hilt not rich!!!!!

 

[OmniCognateNeutronRangler]

yeah, I was only kidding. It looks really nice. Doesn't look like you need to worry to much about traffic either.

We have a neightbour who lives in the big house that these were the stables for (this is the private driveway to his house its 1/4 mile away!!!! It has iron security gates on the main road so no access unless we give out the code which is good!!!
We have a 50 ft square walled garden at the right hand stable and an acre at the back. There is an orchard accross the driveway from us about 3 acres square!!!
We only bought it last year so there is tons to do......we could have a meet at my house just bring a paintbrush, or a JCB !!!

 

[OmniCognateNeutronRangler]

where abouts are you? I'm guessing it's not the South East.

Very nice house love the big windows . Only one problem the wife saw it as it was onscreen .:mrgreen:

Now im getting the whole "See if you didnt drink , smoke waste your money bit .Like she doesnt waste any money on her 4 times a week shopping trips.
As for helping with the paint brush or bringing a JCB. I may be a builder but back injury would prevent this happening ( Thats my excuse and im sticking to it )

Absolute perfect location you can be here......

I was in Inverness last week on business. It was very nice there too. If it wasn't for the weather I'd move tomorrow.

I drink and waste ma money on every gadget thats going (dont smoke though) I was just lucky when i was 19 i made some good investments in shares (although i didnt really know whit i was doing ) I also married my wife when she was a poor student and she now earns 4 times my salary!!!!

This is only our second house!!! Ou first was a converted stable too and we made a mint when we sold it last year (we had been there five years). though all profit went into buying this.
i dont think we will ever move now as once this is done it will be quality!
(I hope)!!!!!!!!

Inverness is lovely but you are right with the weather but Scotland still buys the most convertibles in the UK

Nice thing with threads like this, you kind of get to know other members without meeting them. Nice thread.
