You have plenty of time to get that RS - good luck

What is your favorite car? Carrera GT or 250 SWB (one of them slightly more attainable, the other one complete fantasy land ... therefore need 2)

What is your age? 36

What do you drive now? 2012 Ferrari FF (daily) and 2012 Clio RS (weekend/very short distances)

Where about's are you located? Munich
Perfect combination, two very different cars but I'm sure both put a smile on your face.
Yes, both are testing my love ATM though - the FF has a blown transmission (warranty) and been off the road for a long time already waiting for parts and the Clio needs 4 new brake discs plus pads all around due to rust (left it outside for a month while driving the FF) ....1.800 Euros wtf

Plus 8 new summer tyres and a warranty extension .... expensive month that

Cannot forget a GT3 surely?

What do you think of the M140? I’ve got a friend who has an M135, such brilliant cars, there’s not much else like it really. Everything these days similar to it is 4cylinder and front or four wheel drive...

Haha agreed! Whenever I’ve been to car meets/ shows, majority of the owners of the cars are in their 20s. Source Luxuries Breakfast at Brooklands from last year demonstrated that largely to me.

Hope to be a kid with a super car myself some day...

A growing collection of cars, all awesome in their own way.
RR Autobiography (family/wifemobile), F10 M5 mildly modified, 458 Speciale, 355 Berlinetta, Cayman GT4, Carrera GT, TVR Griffith 500, '57 Chevy Bel Air Convertible, Nissan Bluebird Turbo ZX. More to come.

Where about's are you located?
Buckinghamshire

My advice would be, if you want to make real money, start a business now. Starting a business is a lot harder when you're financially comfortable, on a £100k salary with a wife and 3 kids to support. It's easier when you have nothing to lose.
That is a phenomenal collection of cars for a 31 year old. Fair play.

I meant any 911. My favourites being a 964, GT3 gen 2 and a 911r.

I love my 140. I only got it in September last year and it's been amazing. The s3 and golf r definitely have bettre aspects (AWD) but nothing for me can beat the joy of RWD and a 3 litre. Much more character than its competitors. smile

Humble life advice: Family is the most important thing. Cars won’t love you back, but they are fun. Time is the most precious resource you have. Don’t go after money - do something you are passionate about and enjoy, become great at it (10,000 hours) and the money will come. Embrace failure and learn from it - failure is just a speed bump on the road to success. Ignore all the naysayers, and surround yourself with positive people who encourage you to achieve your goals and dreams - you can achieve anything if you believe in yourself. Follow Tony Robbins and Evan Carmichael’s YouTube channels to learn from the world’s greatest entrepreneurs. Finally, work hard everyday and have fun smile
