I was thinking of buying the Mods4Cars SmartTop but then I realised I had an AutoPi.

£340 is enough to pay if you're able to fit it yourself, add another £100 for fitting (which is what I was quoted) and I struggle to justify, especially having fairly recently spent about £1500 on upgrades between the 2 cars (admittedly mainly on herself's S204 front parking sensors, reversing camera and Comand HDD upgrade).

You only live once and you can't take it with you, I've been busy spending the kids inheritance, so much so my eldest daughter asked me if I had won the lottery

I told my son to expect nothing. We've done enough for him and I'm enjoying what I've worked for.

If anything is left it will go to his kids when the youngest turns 21.:D

Remembering what our 2 were like at 21 - and that my parents had left them a big chunk for that birthday - I'd strongly suggest you change that to 25!

It might be 25, I don't recall the exact age we did it nearly 5 years ago. I was pretty responsible at 21, but I think being the eldest of 4 that is almost a given.
