Azza Posted January 2, 2007 Share Posted January 2, 2007 I can send you my bank details Jeff, have your employer pay your salary into my account, and I will hand out your 'spending money' to you...Either that, or sell the car and buy a sh!tbox Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeff1018 Posted January 2, 2007 Author Share Posted January 2, 2007 hahahaha....no thanks....i was thinking of getting a bike so you dont have to mod it at all but having second thoughts about safety and everything...so i think its all about will power as what IZZ-FE said.....

Azza Posted January 3, 2007 Share Posted January 3, 2007 Mate, in all honesty, try a term deposit or something. You can usually keep adding to it but cant take out until a certain date (like 12 months) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BCNYA Posted January 3, 2007 Share Posted January 3, 2007 Getting married doesnt work. My missus has a Sportivo....... :( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeff1018 Posted January 3, 2007 Author Share Posted January 3, 2007 f430 would be my go ehehehe.....or a galardo...term deposit would be a good idea but i've already got another account which has got a stop on it PCO (post credit only) can you tell i work in a bank ehehehe....so basically it works like a term deposit but just abit more flex to it.....

Mello Posted January 3, 2007 Share Posted January 3, 2007 Get a real car .. a car that you do not need to modify i.e. Porsche 911, SL55 etc. etc. So start saving !!! simple, *YOUTUBE* search up your car / same model etc... and watch the vids where it gets owned either on drags / tracks or whatever. You will lose interest in your vehicle like cold turkey then go buy a motorcycle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sportiyo Posted January 3, 2007 Share Posted January 3, 2007 go gamble, it will chew all your money,and you wont have any money for your car or even yourself(beware your life would be f**ked) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neK Posted January 3, 2007 Share Posted January 3, 2007 (edited) f430 would be my go ehehehe.....or a galardo... term deposit would be a good idea but i've already got another account which has got a stop on it PCO (post credit only) can you tell i work in a bank ehehehe....so basically it works like a term deposit but just abit more flex to it..... ahhh another fellow bank employee but im leaving the bank soon...im gonna miss my bank holiday. oh well :( Have payroll disperse your pay into multiple accounts. To help you in saving set a goal, something realistic.... like saving money for a deposit on a home. Now is a good time to save up so hopefully you can buy something before the next boom comes around. PS: The PCO aint gonna do nothing for you if you work at a bank, all you'll do is constantly override it and take money out anyway (well thats what another fellow colleague of mine constantly did anyway) :P Edited January 3, 2007 by neK Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
