The Cheapest house I could find in my town with a quick search was this one photographed below. $180,000 for a two bedroom terraced house. No land. Just a small concrete yard at the rear. In a rough area too.

In some parts of London you could probably pay a couple of million dollars for something like that.
:shock: It's probably the 'same' here living in New York City or another large metro area. I think San Francisco is the highest property and in line with those prices in London. Man, how do you guys overseas make it in this hobby? Makes me 'respect you guys even more! :lol: (Except for Dave of course), he gets little respect around here. :biggrin:

She is very dirty Pat. Can I give her a bath? :D

Here are a couple of less modest local houses. Photos taken by Christer when he stayed at my place one time.

My mother just got back from the mid east where she visited the Castle Le Crac Des Chevaliers. I would love to visit both Castles someday. Did Chris have to clean it? :lol:

My mother-in-law (big Mopar fan) saw one of the new Challengers this past weekend. She thought it looked better in person than in the photos.
