I wonder if he does equity release?

The thing about stuff like Veyron's (supercars and hypercars in general) is the idea of owning one is often far better than the reality.

To a lesser degree I wanted to buy something silly last year,(I'm 50 next year so this was a full on mid life crisis) not a Veyron, I'd need to sell a lot of grinder blades and holesaws to afford one of those.

I'd narrowed it down to what I wanted, found one at the right price and went to test drive it.

It was insanely fast, so fast I didn't know what to do with it. I'm not sure where I'd use it and it was so powerful everything was effortless to a degree of being dull as you could never get it up to the exciting loud bit without being in three figures, which means being on a track or a runway and I don't live near either of those.

So I left disappointed, that something I'd wanted for so long turned out to be not what I wanted at all, it kind of burst my bubble and caused a complete rethink. So I'm now looking for something older and a bit more analogue that actually needs driving to enjoy.

And I think you’ve left the rest of us suitably depressed too Alan, thanks for that! :D:p
