SteveT Posted June 24, 2008 Share Posted June 24, 2008 Harry Enfield once said 'I would rather be able to play the piano, than own a Porche', I am not a great fan of H.E. but I agree with him.So if a man went past my window carrying a piano............................he would probably be a circus strongman.

ASR Posted June 25, 2008 Share Posted June 25, 2008 Thats true lilolil you wouldnt normally expect it round here but I have to say that lately I have seen loads of nice cars around ED, especially in chesterfield grove and sometimes on lordship lane in the evenings; everything from bentleys to lamborghinis to maybachs.

Fantastic place - cars are made by a small team - they start with the chassis and parts and eventually build and finish the whole car - no production line stuff. A buyer would visit the factory to be "fitted" so if you have excetionally long or short legs the seating and pedals will be adjusted to fit you. At this stage you also get to choose the upholstery, dashboard wood and other fittings. At certain stages, if you're a real petrol head, you can visit the team building "your car" and assist them.So as Ford Focus is to M&S suit so an Aston Martin is to a Saville Row bespoke suit.

ASR Posted June 25, 2008 Share Posted June 25, 2008 Exactly Mamora Man. But just one more thing though. Aston Martin is no longer owned by Ford as of last year when it was sold to a private consortium of investors which include that of David Richards (owner of prodrive and self made millionaire) and fellow investors from the Qatari Investment Authority (backing his bid).The same also goes for Land Rover and Jaguar which were sold off a couple of months ago to Tata Motors of India.After trying to rule / takeover the automotive market for sometime, Ford decided to sell of its other subsidiaries and concentrate on its core business..."Ford".The only other company still remaining in its control is the Swedish firm Volvo which they are also considering getting rid off.

KoolBananas Posted June 27, 2008 Share Posted June 27, 2008 She is indeed! Went past just last night and witnessed this rather strange looking creature... huge big ears, one eye, very much resembling a fox swinging on the curtains until something bounced of the hook or something and came tumbling down... scared the life out of me! ::o Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/3598-curtain-twitching/#findComment-113075 Share on other sites More sharing options...
