Happy (Chinese) New Year!

Gong Xi Fa Cai!

Maybe it's not such a big thing in the UK, but out here in Taiwan everything has shut down for the week and I write you this email from the beachside bar :p

The year of the pig represents wealth, treasure and prosperity - so I hope all of you can experience that this year, maybe you can put the extra pennies (or pounds!) towards your beloved FIAT :)
