How do i ever afford a Gallardo?

[brandonjsamp]

Hello guys I'm 18 years old and well, we have the dream to own Lamborghinis my brother and i, but the question is.. what business are all you successful guys in? and do you have tips for the young guys looking to make a living, any help would be truly helpful

[brandonjsamp]

Thanks guys, We are fortunate enough to have started our own business in catering with our family but my question is mainly how to make a bit of money on the side like online etc.. And yes i have been saving money to buy a flat this year as a Lamborghini is what i want to buy when im completely secure and can afford it, my priorities are straight as

Hey guys OP here, thanks for all the advice etc.. but like i already said, we have our priorities straight, save like a bh for flat first, then rent that out, live with parent pay off mortgage for tenants rent.. so in years to come i can move into my flat practically already mortgage paid off +capital appreciation, so i can sell and buy a bigger house; all from a little investment before im 20.

A Lamborghini is that childhood dream & that is the drive that gives us our entrepreneurial spirit, That is what separates us from the clock on clock off 9-5 for the rest of your life. I don't NEED a Lamborghini to be happy, but id certainly like one!

OP HERE! - crazy look back at this post when i was dreaming all those years a go.
I was 16 in 2013 when my dream Lamborghini was released. I asked myself how will i ever achieve this goal to one day owning one. With only 4 remaining in this colour RHD in the UK I knew my chances were slim let alone making the money to buy it. However call it fate or luck but 9 days after my daughter was born Tom Hartley had one for sale & I was not ready to buy it. As you can imagine obviously it sold instantly. Fast forward a few months and I see another red Gallardo perf being serviced at a garage near me! I went and asked if the owner would sell they told me he will NEVER sell!
I thought another one would not come up for a long time and my chances to own one were going to be impossible. Then at night a few weeks ago I was checking all over the internet to find one as usual and there it is! A Rosso Mars Gallardo in a beautiful spec listed for auction! I knew I had to act quickly and before the car even went live I made an offer as a serious buyer - sold some investments and got the finance together to purchase it from a great man called Will in his 70s. Untouched with less than 500miles put on the car in 9 years hidden away in his personal collection
I can now proudly say I am the owner of a Lamborghini Gallardo Performante Edizone Technica finished in the one and ONLY colour for me Rosso Mars.

congrats and well done.... 500 miles, wow, important as several of the other red ones were famously crashed

I wish!
This Gallardo had 19k miles put on in 3 years since release in 2013 and in 2016 Will purchased the car and for 9 years he barely put 500miles on it...
A total garage queen! I am honoured he sold it to me and as the third owner of such a rare masterpiece is truly a phenomenal feeling.
I've already done 350miles+ in a few days since collection

And still no update of how it was achieved

A wise person here advised me all those years ago that if I find something that makes money to not post it on a forum!
Anyway my advice is find something you're interested in, look for something that already exists that you already use and ask yourself how you can innovate and make it better. If you design a product or make something that solves an issue better than something out there that's a good step. That or selling commodities. I did both of those things 🙏🏽
I am yet to decide if i post which businesses I am involved in as for me its about sharing my love for my Childhood dream the Lamborghini Gallardo.

so you wanted everyones help with the how, but now won't share the result. nice

This original post was from 10 years a go.
I was young and certainly naive, dreaming about a Lamborghini forgetting other adult responsibilities that would exist as I was just living at home with my parents at the time I posted this.
I created a product better than something out there that existed as i noticed a gap in the market and I also buy and sell commodities.
Cold Calling, knocking on doors and grafting hard since I was 17.
There is no easy way, especially in this day and age.
You just need to work hard and focus on what you do.
If you work hard in any industry you can make money.
To achieve a Lamborghini it took 10+ years of relentless dedication day in and day out and I showed up everyday regardless of how I felt.

buy and sell commodities, that commodity being cocaine

You're a very angry human with negative comments.
I have read all of your hate and sly digs but chose not to reply to them.
Are you not able to conceptualise that it's possible to buy a Lamborghini without selling drugs or selling online courses?
I saw in 2015 you were hoping to have your Lamborghini before you were 30... how's that going?
Honestly I hope you find happiness in your life as hating on a public forum on someone celebrating their childhood dream achieved is a pretty low bar mate.

OP HERE:

Honestly I'm lost for words on where to start, I did debate if a reply is needed and if I really need to justify myself to grown men potentially twice my age.
It shocking to see stereotypes about me from my dress sense to the way I might look which is crazy like I'm not allowed to wear what I like on a weekend (when the original pic was taken I posted on collection day).

I made this thread 10 years ago dreaming about a Lamborghini, I worked my ass off hard and then when I finally achieve my dream car and I'm met with a lot of hate because I wanted some sort of privacy about the exact businesses I'm in simply because everything is available online nowadays and you can find anything if you look hard enough?
Then I am getting accusations I'm a drug dealer or don't even own the car?!

Why would I return 10 years later to a post I made & then pretend I bought my dream car.. make it make sense!

Anyway since everyone is so keen to know the exact commodity I am mainly a Coffee & Tea merchant and have been for 10 years+ with my brother knocking on doors and cold calling the old fashioned way. it certainly didn't come easy and for every 50 Nos we got some yeses.
I also have an ecommerce business I started with my partner too selling products online initially organically & became really interested in advertising and then used this passion to learn it to scale up.

The reality is there is money in anything if you want it hard enough, work hard enough and you are prepared to sacrifice EVERYTHING to get there.
That is what I would of told 18 year old me 10 years a go.
I'd say pick something you're interested in so at least so when the chips are down and It's not going as well you won't resent it as much.
There will be ups and there will be downs but you have to have to show up everyday now matter how you feel.
Relentless hard work, dedication & consistency will only result in success.

To clarify this post was not about "showing off" it was about being proud to achieve my childhood dream. Stupidly I thought coming back after 10 years to update my progress would be met with appreciation from supposed fellow Gallardo lovers of such a rare edition in the thread created SPECIFICALLY for Gallardos / Huracans however this was not the case.
My plate is finally on the car which is why LP57OOK doesn't check out.
I returned it to the previous owner as he requested I gave him back his plate to which I kept my word.

If anyone has anymore questions / hate to throw my way you can always search my username here on insta or tiktok and you'll find lots of pictures and videos of the supercar I don't own and stood in front to take a picture of to pretend I achieved my dream

Thanks to everyone who was positive and can appreciate one of the most rare gallardo variants that exist, it is a future classic in the making for sure.

Custard Test (which I had to google the meaning) should suffice in these lovely shots of my Rosso Mars Lamborghini Gallardo Performante Spyder.
