My new car... meet Ruby.
- Thread starter Laura
- Start date
Her mum died and left her some cash didn't she? if so then I don't see how anyone who's mum is alive could be jealous.
And also tbh I could afford to do the same tomorrow if I wanted to, I spend more than that (1k a month) on trackdays and car bits anyway but I enjoy a Clio round a track more than I enjoy an Aston on the road.
But finally. I just don't do "jealous" at all or how could I be mates with some of the people I am? One my friends has just been rallying a 60s cooper around in Switzerland which would literally be a dream come true for me and he also has a stable of cars worth more than I will earn in my life. I'm not jealous in the nasty way in the slightest, a healthy envy perhaps but there are other aspects of my life I prefer to his so even that isnt absolute.
luckly i have a mint job that lets me play with silly cars too, was ragging the new Macan Turbo round Palma race circuit last week
Cool, but that makes there seem even less point in wasting so much money to drive around in an older car but still very nice on the road for a while TBH, lol.

I fell out of love with expensive cars, work with them everyday as I used to they become like everything else. Shortly after this I re kindled my love for bikes. Fraction of the cost & faster. Also more involving & fun IMO but that's personal taste & they aren't for everyone.
I see what you're saying, I could sell my house & run about in a Aston if I wanted, but then where does that leave me, nice car & no house.
Fair play to Laura though, as she has done what she wanted & got what she wanted out of it, no one should tell you how to live your life, but yeah, points have been made about investing in property rather than a bit of metal & they are correct.
But each to their own.

I love expensive cars but luckily my head always wins over my heart.
I was thinking you were paying finance on top of the other monies too. Didn't realise you umm 'got given' the money. I was thinking that was a s**t load of money in total lol.
atleast you have enjoyed yourself and still have the money to buy a property.

It must be amazing to have had this baby on the drive rented house or not. I can't see why it looks to others as if there is some justification involved. Life is full of variable situations and if we all did the same thing it would be boring. No doubt you will probably be back in something similar in the future. Good luck with the house!
Fair play for doing it while you can. I was tempted to do similar and buy a couple of Cosworths for the sake of it 'because I could' when I had a healthy house deposit sat earning little interest. I never got around to it for fear of finding a house and it being tied up.

Aww no, shame to see that the AM dream has come to an end (at least for now whilst other priorities take the lead). Glad you've enjoyed it and thanks for sharing the ownership stories and pics over the last year and a half; I've enjoyed following the thread.

You'll end up having had the V nearly as long as she got the Aston, but for free in your case.
Winning!

LOL! True, although it's costing me a fortune mate. It's running beautifully/flawlessly (apart from eating 3 ignition coils) but the temporary fully comp insurance is a killer.
But it's been fun and worth it.Awesome.
Which one? Thinking of the doing the proper tests etc, or have you done them since I last seen?
Speed triple or Daytona 675 I hope.
