Qbgrey 4,091 Posted July 29, 2024 Report Share Posted July 29, 2024 It’s not all about flash motors, I will get a huge tax bill with one thing and another going on recently, so I just bought a defender 110 double cab, that will help my tax bill dirty robbing b*****ds, and it will go up in value. The classics I’ve been gathering are going to be sold, well a few will. Can’t let your wife n kids drive a fuking heap of unsafe shit about. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

If you have a lot of money you might as well spend it on as many shiny things as you want because you can’t take it with you, she’s in a very good position, we have no real debt, no kids and she has a very well paid job that gives her the average man’s wage at the end of each month just too spaff on whatever she wants after everything else is paid for, live the life you want, not the one you dream about And FairPlay to you mate but I,m just about living I only go to work for my family if it was just me I’d bum around the globe in an old van see the sights and live life to the full, I,m almost at the point that I,m financially secure and so to are all my offspring for the next couple of generations so I,m just cashing everything in and having a jolly, no matter how we try to dress up the benefits of buying all these shiny new things it’s just an ego boost really happiness comes from somewhere else places you see and people you meet can’t be bought, but it’s good we are all different so we all have someone to laugh at lol, shiny new car still equals sacrificing at least a year of life no matter how we try to dress it up enjoy it the best you can mate 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

A couple of years ago my missus was thinking about getting a Porsche Taycan, when we had a look the deal was 10k in then about 1300 quid a month over 60 months, the sales bloke said they sell hardly any to private buyers, I said “ No sh*t “ people just buy them through businesses, so she’ll have to settle with the Audi, it comes with a load of Porsche and Lamborghini bits in the interior anyway Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Always serviced it regularly as well. Passats are normally pretty good cars I had a 05 Passat high line really nice to drive motor i only got it as a second car because it was cheap I had it for a couple of years an sold it at a profit only reason I sold it was because the insurance quotes I got for the Passat was nearly twice as much as the s3 to insure Quote Link to post Share on other sites
