Cars and their houses...
Discussion
Yeah, agreed, have whatever car you want. Discussing what fleet this lad has is somewhat off topic as I would expect if he had an ounce of business sense that he would be able to buy a house whenever he wanted to, should he want to, considering the cars he has.
I am definitely intrigued though, is his Dad bankrolling his day trading or is he sat behind a desk? I know plenty of London traders the same age as myself and our man here, doing well, but not THAT well.
One has to question things, and I have an inquisitive mind. Out of uni at age 20 minimum, within 3 years earning enough to have purchased half a million quids worth of motors, bling them up and run them? Then live as well?
Maybe I'm speaking out of place, but I'm just speaking my mind.

Who gives a f
k, im pretty sure if many others were in his postion they would be over the moon and maybe they would buy different cars but i dont think its for any of us to question his purchases or if he payed for them. Maybe we should all spend less time on here and work a little harder haha.

Let's not take this thread to a full blown character profile of him...He's done well by any standards, the world is effectively his oyster at 23 (on the face of it). He likes cars & that's of course why he is here...Isn't that enough?Let's move this thread back to it's original purpose of cars with slightly mismatched houses. If you want to question the guy, go to the Readers cars section, he's answered a fair amount there already.
Ok I note from reading the thread people living with their parents come in for some flaming here. So feel free to do your worst!
I lived away from home at university from 18-21. I'm now 23, and living with my dad.
It's a big house.... 4 double bedrooms for 2 of us. My mum passed away while I was at uni, so is lots of room. I am not therefore tied to my mother's apron strings! My dad works away from home on business 1 day a week (stops over in a hotel). He also lives with his GF on Saturday and Sunday. This is not due to me being at home, but because she has 2 young children who she cannot just leave. Equally, I can't imagine them being happy being taken to their mum's bf's for the weekend, especially when it would mean a 45 minute car journey, and both are car sick.
If the bed is going to be creaking on my part, it's always when my dad is away.
I think I've seen both sides of the argument therefore. Presently, I cannot see the point in taking away the rent money from my dad, in order to pay more for living elsewhere in a poorer house. Similarly, I'm not sure renting with most of my friends would be domestic bliss. They're great to meet for a chat, have lunch, shop, go out with chatting up women/drinking/dancing.... but probably not ideal as housemates. I'd also rather not have arguments about stuff, and possibly risk losing friends through having to live with them.
I could afford to live on my own I suppose, but I think I'd be miserable. I don't think I'd like living in a house by myself as I've always lived with people... at home, in halls, in rented houses.
I guess, at 26-30 I'll move out... once I've found a woman I'm going to stick with. I just don't see the point of losing what is quite a happy arrangement atm. Plenty of room, I do my own laundry & cooking, pay my way etc. We don't get under each others feet, and know each other's habits.
Ok... off you go. Am I doing wrong, or is this a good arrangement?

Nothing wrong with living at home when you're 23 mate. The gist of this thread is aimed at the 30+ bitty-boys who have some flash motor sat on mummy & daddies drive while they're [still]saving up for their first house, generally something medium/large-sized as they're so used to the large house mummy & daddy have worked for...I lived away from home at university from 18-21.

some people have some bizarre views.
The people who say 'what about when you bring a girl back' Well have those people ever had a girlfriend or have they spent their whole life on the internet watching porn and believing those noises are real?
I still live with mummy and daddy (and have been flamed earlier in this thread) but have a very fit gf who i have been with for 3 years, we are all cool with the situation,dont get me wrong we are saving to move out, those that think shes going to leave because shes fed up or mummy and daddy are furious i,m still here do not know what they are on about. Its ridiculous to state what others think, especially those they have never even met. If they were sick of me i would know about it, trust me.
Good god i cant believe this is still going on
We all have different priorities in life. Some want kids, wife steady job etc, some want to be wasters and spend all their money on drugs while living in debt , some want to have a nice car and so on.
If gulzar owns those cars good luck to him i say, if he doesnt then that is bizaree to lie about it.How do we know though?
I actually cant believe that some on here get so angry about people still living with parents.
And besides the point, a few i know my age with their own houses got them how? With masses of help from mummy and daddy, ones mum even paid the whole mortgage off so he had no worries- now thats pretty poor imo, and i bet a few here have had that, then rant about how shrewd they have been buying property when mummy and daddy set them up all along.

Maybe those with views on who's mum and dad gave them money for what, and those that should/shouldn't live with their parents, and whether someone owns the cars they say they do or not - need to spend more time improving their own lives!
You can't judge everyone by your own standards - those over 30 that live with their parents have made their choice - and if they pull, then I'm sure they'll figure something out!
Also, many people who take over their parents business, go on to buy their houses and cars from the money earned from their 'family' business aren't looked down on..... why?
There's many people here who wouldn't have their own places if they never had help from parents... I know I'll certainly want to help my kids buy their own place (if they deserve it) if they can't afford it themselves....
Different strokes for different folkes, remember that people! I'm sure you all have better things to do than complain about other people's lives - things that don't have any effect on your own lives in any way!!!

Dude, you're not doing it right. Out of 31 girls, not one has ever lay there like a blow-up doll. Even when I was living at home myself. 
As for the house thing, like you say, everyone wants different things from life. I never have, and never will be employed by somebody else, whereas my girlfriend is terrified of the idea of being self-employed. However I've never known anything other than being self-employed.
Maybe it's just too scary a jump into the unknown leaving home. I seem to remember it being a bit scary when I first did it, but my feck it, let's see what happens attitude to life kicked in and I've never looked (or moved!) back since. We're all different I suppose, and entitled to our own opinions; mine is that I'd wonder where it all went wrong if I still lived at home after 10 years of working but had a flash motor on my folks' drive. Yours is that you're cool with the nice motor outside you parents place while you still wait for house prices to fall. So long as we're happy that's what matters I suppose.
Doesn't sound like your girlfriends happy though...
Runs, hides, and hopes m3jappa's not a stereotypical thug-in-an-Evo
ah fk thats why theres no noise, i,m shagging a doll me mum got me my gf is no screamer, just some sensual moans All i can do now is save as much as possible for a good deposit, sell the evo if i need to and hopefully buy end of 09. I am worried about work next year (self emlpyed too) but i reckon it should all be ok, i,ve saved a fair chunk and have this car paid in full so it can go if need be. i do look forward to moving out, if only because i will almost feel a bit more complete. As it is i have everything i could want (within reason) just dont have a house.
I dont care what anyone on here says but to have bought within the last 18mths you either had to be stupid or really had to buy a place , i hope i,m neither
and as for renting, why? Windymiller said:

lol this thread has slightly deviated! Im not bothered about certain comments people make or questions that keep popping up - Ive already answered them and have nothing to quite frankly to 'proove' to anyone here! Im only tapping away at a keyboard here making conversation - im not trying to audition how big my nuts are to an ex playbody bunny! Its just a forum for us all to throw in our 2 cents and provide one another something interesting to read!
Ive mentioned I am a stocktrader - yes I work alone from home beginning with a 14k compensation payout recieved at 20 for an incident which happened at 17 and the rest is history! Are re: Xstra - I dont know mate but I can tell you I am currently long on Barclays big time at £1.66 if you really must know after they hit new lows today of 1.59 but they will bounce back strongly as opting to sell preferential shares to middleeastern group (as announced this morning and officially at 9:10am) has saved them their ability to pay dividends which rbs, hbos etc have all lost so I expect a nice blip some time nice week nearer 1.90 levels. Also from a technical analysis we have sped up the moving average and it will blip up before it (if it does) move more downwards. Another interesting fact Johnson Investment group closed a short position they had been holding (to the value of 1.8% of the bank) today on this news. Ftse also holding up at 4400 will give us a nice open on monday. hopefully .

This topic got me to thinking about a friend of mine. He lives in a small house, technically a 2br but more like a 1 Bedroom with a small spare room. It does, however, have a 2 car garage. I think he paid about $80,000 for it around 2002.
In that Garage is a Ferrari 430 and a 57 Corvette as well as an MV Augusta F4 (I think that's what it is, I do not know a lot about bikes. On his driveway is an RS4. It's not a wealthy area, it's just normal working people who live there and his house is one of the smaller ones. But, he is single, so why does he need a big house? That's his logic and I agree with him. Who needs a big flashy house? He bought a cheap one in nice shape in a safe neighborhood that's perfect for his needs. He's capable of living in a waterfront mansion, but sees no need to do so. He's a private person, does not want a maid to clean the place and does not want the aggravation of keeping a large house up.

There's a three bed ex-council mid terrace there with a F430 and Continental GT on the drive! Well actually one's on the drive and one's outside since there's not enough space.
