THE LAST DITCH

I am off to Paris today to take part in a conference. I am thinking of changing my car and, before settling down to the serious business of the week, will be road testing this little beauty around the Arc de Triomphe. My choice of cars is limited by how tall I am. I simply don’t fit into many cars I would have liked to own. Wish me luck.

    That Arc de Triomphe roundabout is total anarchy, I wouldn’t want to drive a new car anywhere near it!

    I agree with Deli but clearly a demostrator is ideal for testing your driving skills. Just keep away if you buy one.
    Oh and don’t you think you should let some of your friends drive your cars sometimes. 🙂

Tom is a retired international lawyer. He was a partner in a City of London law firm and spent almost twenty years abroad serving clients from all over the world.

Returning to London on retirement in 2011, he was dismayed to discover how much liberty had been lost in the UK while he was away.

He’s a classical liberal (libertarian, if you must) who, like his illustrious namesake, considers that

“…government even in its best state is but a necessary evil; in its worst state an intolerable one.”
