I have had enough of the cold, damp, rip off UK and working for a crumbling NHS doesn't do much to cheer you up either!

I have decided to take (very) early retirement and go and live in my House in Thailand where I will be surrounded by beauty, warm weather and beer at £1/pint.

I'll be poor for a few years until my pension kicks in, but then I'm poor here after paying my Taxes!

All the fleet will have to be sold ( i think) thats the Red N/A, The Gulf Turbo and finally the Cab Sad

I have persuaded the Mrs out there that an Old VW camper will be practical rather than a new Toyota or Honda Embarassed

I'm looking forward to one last trip to The Ring in May with my mates (remind me again of the Dates Rob) then Moving for good early July.

I would love to take the Cab over there but it might just be too costly.....I even thought of driving it (after 2 bottles of red) across country, but 9000 miles might be a bit far!

Doesn't surprise me that you've decided that, and bloody good on you for making the decision, if you can make it work then you have to.

If you're going to be poor for a few years you may as well be poor there than poor here!

When you come to selling the N/A (if it's still red by then) let me know if I haven't posted that I've bought one by then.
