Out of curosity to us all, how much have you actually spent on "Modding" or attemping to mod your HGT(s)?

I'm only asking because if you had invested it into, let's say the stockmarket, or an ING Direct 5% account, you'd probably be much better off.

Go on, tell us the truth

You're a homeowner?

Well that's a smart move and I can't fault you at that - Even if you're living in negative equity for the next 10 years, you'll eventually be in profit

Oh, and apologies I didn't come up the other weekend.. I got sidetracked, then drank too much at home. If you remember me asking for your address

 

[mick calvert]

lol tis ok mate lol

the one i live in i have £12350 in and the second i have £5200 in.

were selling both this year though buy a bigger house and invest the rest into a flat near the hospital to rent out probs get about £700pr month out of that so it atleast pays the morgtage.

Yea.. That's the smart thing to do, if you can find someone to rent it that is. Or DSS, then it's paid straight into your account

I still believe the stock market is a quicker way to fund my naughty habits though, as opposed to houses buying/renting out.

Certainly the latter is a safer bet over a long-term (lower risk), however I want to be retired at 30. LOL. No, I'm not joking!

Still.. back to cars Why don't you just go down the 20VT route and spend a good 3k-4k and get decent power with decent reliability? I know it's the same as "everyone else" but more feasible, surely.. ?

 

[mick calvert]

nah when i go big its RWD or 4x4 mate lol

i just want to see what the hgt can do first its making good power at the min hopefully lol
plus were soon gunna know weather the inlet gains or looses ower so other people wil know if ya get me, i am in a posistion most arent at my age so its a way to test stuff aswell as learning stuff like port matching and a bit of car electrics

You can either buy bulk shares at £1.50 or £10 when you like. I prefer the latter.
