Money out of murci?
Discussion
buy one, cruise round town until you get some chav to try and race you, get directly ahead of him her at speed and yam the breaks. you might be able to get about 5 grand on compo if the chav has insurance otherwise its 20 pound a month for the rest of his/her life.
This wouldnt work in a lp640 as the saxo/206/nova would probably be able to park in the exhaust pipe.
seriusly though, i think some people like the dude from evo just about break even by putting there car out for track days etc but if you had a lambo as your pride and joy would you want anyone else apart from you ragging the crap out of it?
Then again you could start importing them but i dont think theres a difference in price between here and say the usa.

read evo. there is a gent running a merci in there couple of months back he wrote bout expenses ins and outs etc. Doubt you could make a profit tho, at the end you will have a high milage merci that will be worth a lot less than others around and with the extra wear probably with more stuff that will go wrong.

i keep having people asking if il be able to make money out of the murci?
how do i do this
how do i do this
Yes it's possible, and Simon (simonspider) has started up a company with Andy Cummings (cummingsa)
I guess there is a point where you can make the car earn it's keep and cover any finance payments/maintenance, but obviously then there's the mileage and the slight offputtance to potential buyers of your car. At the end of the day tho these experience days aren't akin to Race/Test days, Simon told me something like 70% of the time he's telling people to go quicker !
If the question was without doing the experience days will your car be worth more in a year, sadly i'm afraid not... But then again, it ain't an expensive overpriced one to begin with ........
Bet you can't wait to the ownership, and make sure you go to the events. The events make the ownership experience

Sadly me too, i'm coming to the thought of posting less and just attending the events . Smileys or not, you really can't guage the intonation of what someone's saying on a forum . Meet them and make your mind up then
! I had a real top time at the Lambo day at Silverstone, a coupe of people I thought i'd clash from how I viewed them online , alas i was wrong they were really top blokes

One can find when meeting people at real world meets,they dont ever say 90% of what they post to ones face. Dangerous sh1t this forum banter.
