    Some flats I was looking at by the SS Great Britain in Bristol wanted an extra £10K for a parking space.
    The acquisition of wealth is no longer the driving force in my life. :)

    The Car Park contains every type of exotic car you can imagine, amusingly it also contains normal cars and cars worth circa £2k which they pay more than that to park per week.

    You have management fees on top which are circa £350k per year.

    NASA only sent a Rover to Mars. I've taken a Mondeo to Swindon, and then back again still with its wheels. :)
