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
You are rich sir, when viewed from this side of screen, my income is £488 in a month, covers expenses just and just, my hobby is non existent at the moment as can't afford gas or insurance
But things will change in future, some uphills some downhills, it is called life, I believe
Gti here is anything between 500-1500€ condition can be just about anything too, condition usually has no any relationship with price, and quite often they have been running already 300 000km or more. Rarely have seen such nice looking cars as in this thread.
Collecting one of each Gti car from 80's is one dream, maybe someday

the grey one is not a true GTi , its a replice , it started life as a 1.3 but had the GTi interior fitted , it was lowered and the pirelli p slot alloys added,
the new one is a golf driver like my auto ,
GTi wheel arch trims , 4 light grille and Gti suspension but a 1.6 carb engine

not just yet I hope ,I have a mate that do's the cars up with me ,
of the cars I have sold this year,
the redline and the calibra were mine any way and I had owned them for over 6 months each so they don't count ,
my son Chris owned the golf 4+e and the Gti was registered straight to his name ,
I have kept the driver auto
the 1.3 GTi rep is in my mates name
so the one I pick up tomorrow is the first one that anyone can say I have bought purely to sell on in my name ,
mind you |I could register it in my dads name , he's 79 and dosen't drive anymore lol.
I am thinking of taking this to the next level with my mate by getting a unit.
that way we can do more than one car at a time and not clutter up our driveways ,
have storage for parts saved from scrappers to sell on ebay to generate more income ,
I might even start on other cars ( unfortunately theres not enough profit in 300's except for spare parts )

This is just goin' from bad to worse
I think it used to be you could sell 1 per month over 12 months-might have changed now

This sounds similar number what we have here, one of my friend had to do precise calculations and proof buy and selling prices because he sold and bought so many cars, here they count buying and selling as 2 events, don't you just love our bureaucrats ?
Citröen CX 2ltr model carb should be similar to carb in our cars, should buy and strip few of those fwd evilness for parts

Sorry, not very serious

there isnt actually a number of of cars you can sell in a year just dont attract the attention of the inland revenue (exemple dont put 3 or more cars in the autotrader at the same time and dont advertise too heavily.
my dads hints
He just advises to not sell more than 12 in a year
So redline i dont think you will have any problems with IR
Low Profile Is The Key!
