Believe me you don't

Yes it is.Ask Mr Red if he pays his mortgage,bills etc by buying cars
Far easier to do it as hobby if you're up at the end-well good-if not don't fret.
When you do it for a living and things are stagnant as often happens-unfortunately the bills keep coming

"Believe me you don't "



Why not He is a Cool Guy And somone to look up to.

Somone back me up

young jedi germwalker

there is no way (with a wife four kids of my own , a disabled father ,a disabled foster son and a lovely border collie to support ) that I would depend on buying and selling cars as a living .as Sven said its just not viable for a regular income

whilst I get paid the same for fostering as I used to earn at work ,
the true reasons I do fostering are

1 ) that if I can make a difference to one kids life ( which I feel we have done for Nathan for the last two and a half years )then it will all be worthwhile .
2) it means I can be at home for my two youngest children before and after work and during holidays
3) I can be a full time carer for my dad
4) I do get some "me time " which I devote to my HOBBY of doing up and selling cars

don't forget I do also have a decent pension because I was medically retired from the tv licencing authority, industrial injuries benefit , child tax credit and family allowance coming in plus my wife works full time.

I'm not boasting but our monthly income is about £4,500 after tax however our mortgage is £1,000 a month before all our other household and motoring bills ,

we are not rich just comfortable so the cars are very much a hobby and not a means of earning a living , I wish they were

I TAKE MY HAT OF FOR YOU SIR

(i cant remember how to spell this word but i hope you understand)

I ADMIRE YOU

I think what you do is great i hope when i am (old) i do the same and give back to the world


By the way i like that Young GERMWALKER thing


And to be comfortable is one of the best things in life (1 thing ive allready learnt on my long jouney of discovery) in more ways than some might imagine

I guess some of you guys think i am rich living in the south of france
but i am not even that conforable at the moment as our house is still being built and money wise we still havent sold are house in england so...
i have a way to go in that respect and job wise in france theres not much i am under paid just to get somthing for a job only 5 euros an hour in the garage
but when are house is put on the market witch it hasent been for 3 years we should be more than comfortable

sorry i am rambaling on

the GTi rep go's for its retest today, if we can get it there (bloody snow )

You bid on it?

he won it

OMG!!! You Won It!!! BARGEN!!!


Well Done You should be able to do somthing with that and definatly make a profit. Good Luck

Hopefully all you need to do is back box and some tarting up
and MOT & Tax
I assume you will sell it ?

Another thought maybe you should keep those bbs style wheels for the driver you just bought ,could add value?
