I've turned to 98% DIY - instead of paying a garage - the 2% is for any welding - of which a tiny amount is needed on the 200. Was going to pay to have the PAS/Braking servo refurbished but will have a go myself...

If I may I would like to put in my 2 pence worth... The US were very clever to offload quite a bit of their sub-prime debt - but we greedily took it. We need to get used to saving up for things and not borrowing money we can't afford to pay back. Now if you want to feel better about things take a look at this graph (which represents house prices but can represent the economy), I think it's accurate...

Now lets say 'New Paradigm III' is September 2007, based on previous boom and busts I estimate we will hit the bottom in around 3 years time (best case). Alternatively this could be a lot worse than the great depression... Our one comfort is that 'we' can't do anything about it.
