I'm having a quarter life crisis

[Skillmister]

I've seen someone with a net worth in excess of half a billion driving a clapped out old Renault Megane before heh - thought it had to be a look alike but later found out he does actually own it.

The second most senior partner where I work drives a 10+ year old Honda CR-V for a 35 mile each way A/B road commute Not quite the same but still odd!

It's a view held by people who think we all fit into a box and act in a certain way, probably someone who has been exposed to 1 or 2 people who have bit of new money and think everyone with money lives in a £50M mansion and has a Ferrari for each hour of the day. Now I know some people like that of course, but I also know plenty who like you references are what most would call liquid, but don't feel the need to express it with flash cars, watches, clothes or even houses.

I'm kinda looking forward to seeing this at the next meet! I did love your m3's sound so I wonder how the porky compares.

 

[Rroff]

Back on topic is it just me or is that Porsche kind of channelling the e-type jag look? (not that Porsches in general are a million miles away from that look).

I think it's a fairly logical discussion point. It's not everyday you see someone do what most of us have joked about doing I.E. spending a house deposit on a car

Our CEO drives an old Audi TT, and frequently uses his bus pass to get to work. People have different priorities no matter what their walk of life may be.

I think most importantly of all is, semi detached or terrace means nothing when it comes to value. You go in to most Zone 2 or 3 areas in London and you're looking at £1m+ for a semi. (Zone 1 is another level).

Clearly if you don't own a detached house in London you are a peasant

Yeh its a bit mental, telling my nan she was a millionaire now as we had to get her house valued for the first time since they got it in the 70s for probate didn't go down well with her and a bit of a surprise for us. House doesn't even have central heating and a kitchen/bathroom that's at least 20-30 years old.

Chatted to Vox loads at the SE meets about what car he was getting next which got me looking into what I could possible get quite easily now (f-type, DB9 etc) but I don't have the balls to spend my house deposit on one. That and I think my dad would hit me and then kick me out... Hence me getting the worlds best second car.

 

[grudas]

yup! I'm half tempted to leave london because it's mental here.

Do it, you won't miss it.

 

[Cookeh]

London is an utter cesspit, get out asap.

Vox, liking the change!

That car looks really great and with all those options it will be rare I suspect. Little disappointed in the colour, probably because the red M3 was really RED. Reminded me of my old Hellrot E36 M3 every time I saw it.

The C2s is not the one I would have bought though, I'd have opted for a C4S or GTS ideally. 2WD probably the purist's choice, but 4WD would mean I could use it all year round. Yes it would be my daily.

BTW I could afford two of these 911s, one to drive and one to polish... no finance involved or anything. I don't have one (or two), not because I'm not super successful (I am thou), but purely because I just decided to sit on the fen ce for now. Not the right time and all that jazz.

Lovely car, enjoy.

Is this real life.

That's nothing. Pepsilol could afford 8 of these cars and a 10 bedroom mansion in Mayfair.

Twas nae but a feart in the wind.
