The mental gymnastics a landlord will employ to justify immoral actions is clinically fascinating. Just because something is legal doesn't make
it moral.

Bought the VX220, then following summer progressed to the Elise (more money for not a lot more else!).
Then went to work in Bosnia for a few years... was classed as a 'diplomat' so got 15% off factory BMW prices and also didn't have to
pay the 17.5% VAT. Made buying the Z4 a no-brainer.
Took it home after the statuatory 6 month period outside the EU and swapped it for a new tax-free Exige... happy days!
Fabulous car... wish I'd never parted with it, but I was really struggling to get in / out with my bad back!
