Surprise!! Surprise!!! My sister wants to show me a little LoVe!!
Long story short, guys.
A friend of mine has given me his new LV Sub (Z-series) to try and sell off on his behalf. The watch is in pristine condition and he's asking a real good price on a watch of this calibre. My sister, Nina, is here spending her holidays with us. She looks at the LV and LoVes it!!! Then she turns around and tells me....well, JJ, I've paid half for both your daughter's new cars....so the least I can do for you is buy you this watch. I can see how much you like it. I didn't know what to say. I'll have to talk to my friend today, make him an offer and, if he agrees, splatter TRF with my new acquisition. JJ

JJ, first off, can your sister buy me a watch. If you do indeed get it, your comfort level will rise to three, and you will need to update your thread. Last, you are going to Love the LV.

Bet you won't flip it, coz it would have some sentimental value i should think.

Yes, she couldn't get one with the "S" (it had already been taken by someone else), so she had to settle for the "5" which does look like an "S".

Enough to further your Rolex collection anyway !! Plates are big money spinners here in the U.K - I enquired about Y4TES (my name) with DVLA - They wanted offers over £48,000 UK Sterling...

[QUOTE=JJ Irani;351412] My sister, Nina, is a wonderful person. She's been single all her life and is my only sibling.

YA5MIN and GR8 JJ are great plates, as Stuart says, they'd cost a forune here I'm fortunate to have a private plate which was brought a few years ago. Like stuart I wanted my surname - £15,000 : mu first name? I enquired, thats already sold - now up for sale for £14,500. So I settled for four numbers and my initials. the plate's on its third car now so has served me well All the best JJ |

Seems your family is as GR8 as your license plate! And, Stuart, it's not the bald head that women likes about JJ, because I'm as bald as JJ AND single... :)
