  | Today I changed my car to be more diving friendly! I use to own a Ford Puma - really nice car, sporty and great fun. However with two twinsets and a couple of stage bottles along with my regular kit the car is jammed full. So today I arranged to change my car for a more practical one with a lot more space. Now so far that's not too sad. Ok so the really sad bit is I'm taking out a bank loan not only to cover the cost of the car but also a Gavin scooter  So who else has been as equally sad? (I know one guy who upped his mortgage to buy a rebreather so he needs to fess up  )Cheers Al |

| It's about time you got rid of that tiny little car you drive :D So spill the beans, what did you get then?? Inquiring minds need to know. Oh, and I thought we weren't allowed friends with rebreathers? Fraser. |

| Very practical - 5 door Ford Focus. I did look at a nice Peugeot 307 estate but Charlotte wouldn't have driven it so I had to get something reasonable. It's big enough for several sets of twins, stages and scooters :D |

Seems like a perfectly sensible course of action to me. Everyone knows that mortgage money is free money. It's not like you have to pay it back or anything. Janos

I managed to scare some Jehovah's witnesses today... YD thread Seriously though, if I'd spent £5k on a motorbike, then no-one at work would think it odd, but you spend £5k on a breather or a few grand on a scooter and people think you're bonkers. If you've got the cash (or a mortgage) and you'll use it and enjoy it then go for it say I. Janos
