CHEAP RED/BLACK 348 FOR LOONEY

sorry pap, they're ugly as sin and crap according to LDM

 

he may have a lot of clout with the mafia (LucaDeMontezelomo)

it was a dumb statement as I don't know one person who has one that doesn't think they're great , and they are.....excellent value for $20k

348Ch reckons they are worth even less and he should know , he's worthless

 

thanks Pap.

i am currently working the numbers to see if i should sell the Lotus and move on to something else.

however every time i get in the elise (especially after so long after not driving it) i just get a huge smile on my face.

so im a little confused now (well a little more confused than normal anyway)

 

I think this 348 belonged/belongs to an international airline pilot who puts it in storage when he's out of the country flying aeroplanes - hence the low kms.

 

Shh, he is getting a Diablo

 

I nearly got to look at it at a dealership when I was in Sadelaide last October. They subsequently sent me a DVD on the car - still pics/slides. If I recall, the asking price then was circa $120K.

 

is that the one for $244k?

i did consider ringing about it, because an SV is one of the best pick's on a Diablo, but i just cant bring myself to do spend around $200k just yet.

and i dont like blue, but buying a used Diablo, you have little choice of colour.

 

the issue for me is more to do with sensibility, at my age if i forego the car for a couple more years, then it will be better in the long run, and there is still a big step between buying a $100k ish car and a $200k ish car.

just buy Sam Newman's Lambo off him, he seems to think its worthless, ill offer him one of Ash's slabs of VB for it

 

you're dead a long time.

 

yeah, but my wife is starting to talk about kids in a few years, and the last thing i want is to be tied to some dumb ass job like i do now, so if i can invest enough to be financially self sufficient then that would give me more joy ( i think, well thats the theory anyway)

 

that's the choice you have to make. i've always lived for now. i know people who didn't, and now they're dead and never did what they wanted because of the "future". so far, i've missed out on nothing...if i kicked the bucket right now, there's not much that i've wanted to do that I haven't. (withing reason, of course)

i'd miss trying to make phil's life miserable, though....although i sort of figure it already is...and it's got nothing to do with me.

 

I thought you had worked out a way to take it with you....wherever that is!

 

but that is a difference in personalities, some people throw care to the wind (ie you and 360C and Pap etc), but some such as myself cannot enjoy something if we know its at the expense of the future, so its all well and good for me to go and drop $250 k tomorrow on a car, but then i would possibly be regretting it for fear of the opportunity cost for the future.

damn this conservative personality of mine.

 

oh well...obviously you're too money hungry. there's more to life, and, to my mind, you're missing out. what the hell do i know, though?

 

Ha ha, you're kidding right!

I've made a career out of my passion, which provides for my family.

I'm the happiest guy I know, I see wealthy people all the time. I reckon I'm happier than most of those! So money aint it (and that's all you've got )

Peepee, in my life you're barely a blip. If you mattered, or I cared, I'd have you in your place PDQ. I look at it this way... I can take it, so give it all you like. I hope it consumes time you'd otherwise spend annoying other people. I'm kinda like a community service where you're concerned.

and I own a 512BB....

 

what??? who mentioned anything about money making you happy?...but...
yep...you're right...nothing i say affects you. hahahaha...fish / barrel
