I mined lite coin few years back, got 684 coins so dependent on the daily rate worth around $20,000 just waiting for the right time to sell.

Ah I was going to ask that next. That's brilliant! Never understood why mining coins are worth so much but there you go.
Car wise, I wouldn't drop ££££ on a supercar. I don't understand how some of my friends have dropped mega money/finance on cars such as audi rs/amgs/ and BMW M cars. Most of the time they're parked up not even getting used.
Sure they get to enjoy the performance and epeen points amongst friends but in the end they don't have anything to show for it. Cash will always be king for me.
In a nutshell,
Car 1: Sold Octavia "runabout", Bought relatively nice E30, has been restoring it pretty well, drives it daily I believe.
Car 2: Bought relatively tidy MK2 MX5, swapped it for utter nail of a MK1 with a potentially shafted engine, tried to swap shafted MK1 for another MK1 of unknown quantity.
He's half-way towards not messing up his car-related purchases
Oh wow, colour me (half) surprised
Some of my earliest motoring memories were in a, then new, red e30 touring on an H plate - had to double take at the pictures. Not many of those left I'm sure
Is it wrong to want to see some sort of BGW on it?
Pardon my ignorance. But what does BGW mean? I assume Big Gash Wing, but probably wrong.
Yeah going on holiday is a waste of money too. Why go away when you can bath in money.
Bathing in money is quite fun actually.
That's exactly where my mind went.

Needs some kind of wing on it - just looks wrong without.

It was already broken
High five*
One does not break something that's already broken. A shame tho, I liked it. I'll give you £25 for it ?
The mentioned nail of an MX5 is currently half disassembled on my driveway. I'm breaking it.

I'd up that to £50
Best offer I'd had for it was 1750, but after that offer the drivers door lock jammed, and I discovered that the passenger door lock wouldn't unlock with the key either... So now one door is jammed shut, and the other has to stay unlocked. That was also someone who didn't know about the engine issue. They pulled out, perhaps unsurprisingly.
Other offers ranged from 1200 to 1500 with full disclosure of everything, someone offered me a swap for a 2000 Audi TT 225, and someone else offered me a swap for a BMW 1 Series, neither replied to me after I got back to them.
Breaking it I should easily get 2000, anything over that is a bonus. And I can SORN it and cancel my insurance, and don't have to worry about the impending doom that is MOT time.
Only just started taking bits off yesterday, the cat-back exhaust, diff and shafts, splitters, TSI's, side skirts, soft top roof, seats, and a few other bits are already spoken for...
