A SUPER yacht with a difference has been officially named at Plymouth's Mayflower Marina. For a cool Pounds 297,000 plus VAT, you don't get a stateroom, a powerful engine, sophisticated electronics or even a comfortable bunk.
What you do get with Integrity, a stunning 43ft gentleman's yacht, is a throwback to the Victorian era of craftsmanship, gorgeous woodwork, gleaming varnish and polished brass.

On the face of it, buying a used car built by a company that no longer exists seems a recipe for disaster. Especially if you're ploughing a not insignificant sum into a complex vehicle that was built to compete with the likes of the BMW 5 Series and the Audi A6.
What if some of those complicated electronics go on the blink? Where would you go to get the thing repaired? Fortunately for clued- in used buyers, a healthy network of Saab specialists has built up over the years and they're fanatical about these cars.

RY COODER Pull Up Some Dust and Sit Down (Nonesuch) A STRIPPED- BACK and spare album from Uncle Ry lets us know he is still perturbed by the ways of the modern world. Set to a background flavoured with Mexican seasonings, Cooder mounts a passionate attack on the evils of modern society, as they seem to him: Republicans, bankers, pointless wars, corporate greed, apathy. No Banker Left Behind is self-explanatory, while in El Corrido de Jesse James, Jesse reclaims his trusty pistol from Heaven's Gate in order to sort out Wall Street.
