Well where i'm at uni, my flat has shit parking out the back, which was ok for a year while no-one really lived there, but it's filled out now and it seems i'm not entitled to a parking space

This might mean i'll have to leave the turbo at home and catch a train back (wot the fuk is a train??) and visit only on holidays...

Anyone know who to contact regarding what is owned by what property? Plans and tings?

Do you rent straight from the owner or via a estate agent? If you rent through an estate agent they will be able to find out who owns what, if you rent from the owner, speak to them and offer to pay the fees to the solicitors in order to view the deeds (unless he completely owns it, in which case he has the deeds)

Well i dropped me turbo off at home and caught the train back to Wycombe...

I'll see how i get on with chasing up documents / deeds etc.
Anyone know of a good train forum i can sign up to? For modded trains and trains with dump-valves etc?

Yup, I know that train, it's the MagLev which stands for Magnetic Levetation. The train is floating about one centimeter above the concrete track and can indeed reach speeds of up to 300 MILES an hour. I have seen the track several times in real life, not the trains sadly. You can in fact reserve a seat to travel in the train but you have to be patient, waiting lists are about a year

In Holland a lot of discussion has been made about introducing this type of train. Seems like it'snot going ahead, don't know if I should be pleased or not...

In China they opened the first line with this kind of train, a line between an airfield and the centre of town nearby.

Australia and the USA are also thinking about building such a line accross their country.
