A bit harsh?
If he's managed to buy a 330i at 19, working full-time (ie with his own money) whilst studying I think he's done bloody well!
Not harsh at all. He's done far better than I had at 19 and the 330 is a nice car but I still don't really see how it's remotely comparable to someone buying a GT-R at pratically the same age and also a student.If he's managed to buy a 330i at 19, working full-time (ie with his own money) whilst studying I think he's done bloody well!
Lots of people can probably manage a nice 11 year old beemer at Uni if they work in their spare time, not many are running supercars (I realise many don't think the GT-R is a supercar).

but chill dude. I'm hardly comparing mine to the GT-R what I was trying to say to the other students talking about being broke, is that with a relatively small effort on my part I've got to be 19 with my 330i, so I'm saying that with a lot more effort like OP he has achieved his goal of a GT-R, and was congratulating him on doing it, so put your handbag away. 
[/Thread hi-jack over] back to congratulating OP on a cracking car.
In response to insurance questions, If you think about it its not that cheap in reality I am paying the equivalent of just under £2000 for a 10 month policy if you add the figures and time period together and I have a high excess. If I was to insure it on a 12 month policy with a sensible excess say £250 I would imagine it would work out closer to £2500-3000 for the year. I only have 1 years no claims because I always end up cancelling policies before the end of their term because of changing cars so frequently, The reason for not having it in the garage is one because it wouldnt fit and the S2000 I bought my dad lives in their and two because it is actually hundreds of pounds more expensive on the insurance if its in the garage, a tip I give to many regarding admiral. Park your car on the street rather than driveway/garage and watch your premium fall. I give a lot of advice to younger drivers on insurance as there are various ways of saving.
I must fully update my garage, the MX5 was great for the money it was actually my dads car I bought it him as a gift last year and then sold that and bought him an absolute steal of an S2000 both cars can be as fun as the GTR in the right situation. The S2000 especially, if I am honest the GTR is too fast its the fist car I have had when really pushing on where not only has the passenger been saying "Oh my God!" but so have I. The car is so capable and unlike most cars which will restrict you big time when pushing on with the traction control on. The GTR will literally let you drive on the limit and make you look like a driving god.
I am keen to get a property now with a secure double garage or more offroad somewhere as my parents are always concerned about the cars I have because of the attraction to thieves, I posted a thread on here earlier in the year when we were broken into for thieves trying to get the keys to my RS6 avant and M5. Like I said now I have finished my degree I am so excited I can now fully concentrate on upping the game one step further, many who know me will back up how driven I am and hopefully this next year should see me progress rapidly because of having full time commitment to buying and selling cars. I have totally stopped the fishing tackle business I had now but that gave me a massive push through uni and was responsible for getting me started. I like that people feel inspired from what I have done as it would be good to see people do the same. The rewards are out there for anyone, the hardest bit is the first couple of years getting to £15k plus. The level I am at now means the margins are much greater so each step gets bigger.... but it does have its risks.

It certainly does, one wrong buy or something that blows up on you at that kind of money can be a bit of a disaster and a major set back. Dont put all eggs in one basket so to speak.Also if your now playing with that kind of money I hope you have a business set up properly as the banks/tax man wont turn a blind eye forever.

So what is the law before it is a business? Run it for 2/6/12 months then sell?Also if your now playing with that kind of money I hope you have a business set up properly as the banks/tax man wont turn a blind eye forever.

I know do have to be careful but the big rewards mainly require big risks in any business, yes set up a trading as business mid February as I am self employed and source vehicles for a prestige motor company so invoicing them too. Although my accountant is now saying he thinks I need to change it to a limited company got a meeting about that next week. Also if your now playing with that kind of money I hope you have a business set up properly as the banks/tax man wont turn a blind eye forever.
regarding the rules I am not sure with personal cars I mean if you are registering in your own name and using the cars and purely just change as often as I do. I have heard various opinions a few people including accountants have said you can buy and sell up to 7 private cars a year???
Well done OP!I really admire what you have achieved! When I was your age I was too busy getting pissed and chasing girls lol. Kind of regretted it now 
However, you are my inspiration to work even harder now! 
I'm saving up to start up a motoring business in a few years time... hopefully that will come true! Any tips would be much appreciated lol!
By the way, in regards to parking on street or in my case on a gated private drive - it makes no difference at all to Admiral...

Thanks for the kind words, and I hope you achieve your goal!
I am surprised as that as I normally get flooded with PM's from people, mainly 18-25 year olds saying I have saved them a couple of hundred quid... It has saved me alot over the last few years finding that out. I have not tried it with other companies but it is definately cheaper to park your car on the street rather than garage/driveway with Admiral for younger drivers

I guess they don't consider 31 being young then I am surprised as that as I normally get flooded with PM's from people, mainly 18-25 year olds saying I have saved them a couple of hundred quid...

Its not just numbers of cars, if your turning a profit on everyone and running the money through an account then it becomes a very very grey area.Yes you can buy and sell a certain number of cars each year without the DVLA asking questions, you can over step the mark and then they will ask. What that actual number is I dont know, alot of people say different things.
