the best of both worlds



A friend of mine told me to look on this website called "auto scout24". I found a one year old New Beetle for 7200 Euro! It is fully loaded, air conditioning, electric parking helper, even a navigation system. The State money (2500 euros) is for new and one year old cars. I could have a 2008 New Beetle for just 5000 Euros! So maybe that’s the answer? It is the very best of both worlds! This has got to be a type- o. They must have forgotten to type a 1 (10,000 Euros too cheep). Juergen will call them tomorrow!

Update: it was a type o. What is the saying? If it sounds too good to be true, it probably is.

chicken coop idea

Why not start with an IBC and cut a hole for the door? You could build closed laying boxes into it, and something for the chickens to roost on. Put some straw or saw dust on the floor. You could add vents to the side for air. If it sat inside a chicken run that you can walk into, the chickens could be safe, dry and happy. I have an extra IBC. Maybe this could be my chicken house? I bet I could even plant the outside of it with mud and grass for extra insulation and good looks.

The Opel Agilia

I think I don't want to spend the money for the VW New Beetle. It's a very cute and safe car, but cost about 17,000Euros new. I can find it for 13,000Euros (this is the most basic model) but that's more then I would want to spend. I don't really drive that much. I'm pretty cheep at heart. I need real value for my money. I keep thinking we really should take advantage of the money Germany is offering to trade old cars in for 2500Euros towards a new car. If I buy a car that's around 10,000 Euros, then the Government is actually going to pay 25% of the cost of that car. That's really a very good deal. Since I know I will need a new car in the near future, I feel I should get a new 10,000 Euro car. The Opel Agilia is around 9,900 Euros. It's got 5 doors, and room for 5. It is pretty safe, and comes with a 6 year warranty. I would not call it my dream car, but I could easily afford it. I'm trying to be wise here. There are other cars in thi
