Well boys, there is a little rule that I follow in life: you're never too young to make your dreams come true :)

Also, it's control - I divide my money like so;

50% Savings and General Spending

25% on my woman

25% on my car

As you can see; the biggest winner is still ME and the EQUAL placegetters are my car and my woman. No arguements from either :D However, once the mods come to an end - the percentage towards it will 'lean' out and 'richen' towards my woman :D

I just hit it lucky I guess; none of this would be possible now if it wasn't for the care and support of my friend/boss. I owe most of my life to her right now :lol:

And as for the young thing in my reply before; I'm 19 so there's still a long way to go before I'm done :D

Geez

My budget is more like :

50% - CAR

10% - MISSUS

40% - SAVINGS

Im hoping that after my next purchase (tyres) things will slow down a bit :O

It sucks doing approx 15 hours of overtime per week to try and cover my modding addiction. lol

0% living???

I am in the same boat, when ever something goes wrong I think..nah ill sell my car it costs too much! But then its so nice to drive and so many aftermarket mods to buy :O

My monthly paycheque is:

25% Loan

35% Living

40% Car

The girlfriend gets what ever is left out of living :lol:

i am hopeless with money. I just buy things i want basically.

I have invested a fair amount of money into property (i own a 2 bed appartment).

I bought the GTR and Soarer but don't owe any money on them.

my problem is i just buy pretty much what i want, so even though i have plenty of money coming in, it all goes out again :O

I guess my mortgage is a kind of savings, and i do still put away a few hundred a week (mostly). I just have to try and restrain my self when it comes to spending on the car. it's tough though.

ok i can see you all have something in common.....

i am another that can be added to the list, lately my divisions are:

80% - CAR

20% - woman

0% me and savings...

and yeh im only 20!!!

cars are a money pit, i know this but i just love making it go faster!!!!!

Geez

My budget is more like :

50% - CAR

10% - MISSUS

40% - SAVINGS

Im hoping that after my next purchase (tyres) things will slow down a bit :rolleyes:

You will grow out of it one day tommy , i don't know when though , i still haven't but who cares ....

    • Seemed to be good when Jeff owned it but they did a shit job on my car, probably worth a think before spending 10's of thousands of dollars where they might be cutting corners
    • Starting with issues 1 - 5, we have already run into a problem...!  Issue #4 contained 2x front brake calipers, instead of 1 caliper and 1x steering knuckle. Will have to call DeAgostini on Monday to sort it out. Anyway here's some photos.  Issue #1 is the front bumper, headlights and number plate. Issue #2 is the front wheel (with "We produced with spartan air." text on the centre cap!) and tyre, the front lip spoiler and cylinder head cover with ignition coils under the centre cover... which will never be seen again. Issue #3 is the bonnet and cylinder head. Issue #4 is the front strut, brake disc (with laser etched metal discs) and brake caliper. I stopped here because of the issue with the missing steering knuckle.  Next update will be #5 - #10 in a few weeks.
    • DeAgostini is one of a few companies that release quite large (the largest commonly available size actually) 1/8 scale models in a series of weekly issues over 100 - 110 instalments.  They release different models for different markets and DeAgostini Japan have release the BNR32 Skyline GT-R Nismo last month. I've made two of these 1/8 scale sized cars (one an R35 GT-R from 2012 - 2014, the other I'm just about halfway through, a BNR34 Skyline GT-R from the 2Fast 2Furious movie) so when this R32 was announced there was no way I could ignore it as it's my favourite out of all Nissans.  Each issue costs around $20 so it costs about $2.2K when completed. I suppose it is very expensive for what it is, but the quality and details are really very good, and there are many "gimmicks" like fully functioning exterior and interior lights operated with a remote control, working steering, all doors/bonnet/boot/fuel lid open and close, the side mirrors fold in and it even has a speaker for the engine revving sounds when you turn the lights on.  Each issue comes with a magazine that tells the story of the BNR32 Skyline GT-R Nismo from the first design stages of the BNR32 to Group A homologation and the various racing version that were run in the Japanese Group A and JGTC, and Australian Group A.  So I plan to update the build in this thread 5 issues at a time.  https://deagostini.jp/r32/?srsltid=AfmBOooKjxDc4EUK2rmXqMBPgyHfFJ24s4oEPJBNpnF-lFlsRoW0PE6P
