This week in his own slightly less dramatic way Ash Rawal a 38-year- old
This week, in his own slightly less dramatic way, Ash Rawal, a 38-year- old corporate consultant from Derby, also made history. At one minute after midnight on 6 April, Mr Rawal became the first person in the UK to buy an Individual Savings Account, Labour's new tax-free savings vehicle. Whether his decision to stay up late turns out to be the epoch-making step Labour hopes crucially depends on whether millions of other savers follow his lead, and also invest in an ISA. Everyone dreams of making history. For many of us, this might involve saving the world, scoring the winning goal in a cup final, or making 10 million-selling hit record.

The service provider, set up earlier this year, is Investors Financial Network, or InFinNet.
Even more distinctive is the way InFinNet uses other computer tools, such as CD-roms, to deliver even more information. The logic behind this move is that most computer users do not have equipment powerful enough to handle quality videos from the Internet. InFinNet's latest offering is a CD of video-based interviews with London stockbrokers on investment-related topics. OK, SO everyone's offering free Internet access nowadays. But there is only one access provider which does so while providing financial information at the same time. The price, at just pounds 12,495, means a saving of some pounds 4,000 on a right-hand-drive example.. As a result, UK dealers are importing more left-hand-drive Porsches than ever. Adrian Crawford (01752 840307) realises what fine value they are and has a 1984 Carrera in green which has covered 110,000 miles with a full service history. It's just a 10-minute walk to the sea and there are views to Culver Down.
There is no garage, but street parking is not a problem, say the agents The Wright Estate Agency Ring 01983 866 822 for details.. IF YOU are a real car enthusiast, then a Porsche 911 is something that you really ought to drive, or at the very least own once in your motoring life. The design is timeless, although the handling borders on the suicidal in the hands of a novice. Putting the engine in the rear might be questionable, but there is no escaping the stunning performance, or classic design. The trouble is that Porsche 911s can be frighteningly expensive. Whoever takes it on will have to salvage and re-use some of the existing materials, so the resulting house will not look too different.
