  • Hi Ttoli

    Yes I agree with you. And thank you and other MSE's for your valuable contributions.

    I don't know why some people are so negative here, perhaps it is their personal experiences and views of life in general?

    As I've spent my own money and taken the risk, all I was looking was ideas not 'I won't invest in you and I'm out' and calling of names. Why is there a need for that? If you have nothing valuable to say, then why open your mouth or type in your thoughts for that matter! In response to the abuse here, all I'll say is act you age and not your shoe size.

    I see life as a gift, why should one not enjoy it? You only live once, and you take nothing with you. I always look at the positives in life and take a few risks every now and then.

    I'm surprised the moderators have not read this post yet and commented on the abuse nature of some of the posts. One would expect them to take action, only time will tell if they even monitor such posts.

    Well done :cool: It's a nice little bit on the side and proves there are people out there with more money than sense.

    However it's more like 244% profit.

    Thanks for actually updating the thread. Too many people start a thread then dissapear into the sunset. You got a good price there!

    MR08 OND is rather pointless though as if you get plates made up as MR 0 8OND you get yourself a lovely fine.

    I wonder how much regtransfers took for their part in the deal :)
