I don't admire this guy, I think he's a joke and I feel sorry for his family. :D

Gt-R R34 05-22-2009 12:41 AM

I'll give the man props, no matter how "stupid" in Real LIFE terms this is.

To do what he does and have a Lambo. Props. Which one of us here can say that?

Obviously, i'd take that 200k+ buy a house instead but HEY - thats his dream. He lived it.

Can't say nothing about it. (but if i saved when i was 6 till now, wouldn't I be wanting something like a DIABLO instead?)

ELITE_TRAYUNZE 05-22-2009 12:43 AM

You guys ragging on this guy are kind of pathetic. He doesn't state anywhere that he's sacrificing anything from his family. His family, from the sounds of it, are living a normal life. He's sacrificing himself and not so much his family.

If I could do it, I would. And I bet you all would too. The problem is, we can't. I can't imagine not wasting my money on buying food from outside. I can't imagine myself ever being able to not waste money alcohol. This guy has had the willpower to do it.

It's that simple. If we could do it, we probably would. Props to him for holding back from today's general "wants" in life to get just one major "want" - his dream car.

Get what I'm saying here?

You have the exact kind of mentality I'd expect from someone from Surrey. :eek:

So this guy makes 40K a year and you think this guy can actually afford owning a Lambo without affecting the living standard of his family? And you actually think someone who's greatest passion in life is owning a hunk of metal is admirable? ROFL!

How do you know weather his family is living an average standard of life or not? He said he's been saving up since he was 6, so how could you really know? I can't say it's true or not, but from the sounds of his story, his family is living a pretty average life and he is really only sacrificing other unnecessary things that he would want in order to get his dream car.

If that is truly the case, then yes, I admire that he has gotten something he really wants by sacrificing all the little things that he would want but doesn't need.

Errr this guy can't even afford to buy a proper bumper and get it installed by a professional... :gay:

The guy likes to work on his car himself instead of overpaying bodyshops. Yeah, you're absolutely right, what a shitty life....:rolleyes:

You're confusing someone who's engaging himself in a hobby and some hick trying to jerry-rig an aftermarket bumper onto his car in his backyard lolz! Talk about being ghetto! :cry:

Must be a Surrey thing. :D

Also, I guess hobbyists also like buying cheap knock-off bodykits because they enjoy the extra challenge of putting it together? :D

Lots of people do their own mods. Perhaps he enjoys it as much as people who put together model planes on the weekend? :confused:

And TONS of people use replica parts. Probably 50% of RS has at least one replica part.

A 18 year-old-14 dollar-ballar putting on a knockoff bodykit on a $10,000 Celica is a little different than some 40 year-old-14 dollar-baller putting on a knockoff body kit on a Lambo. :)

The only difference is the price of the car. Who really cares?

Revillusion GT 05-22-2009 08:13 AM

This thread just goes to show all the little "ballers" on revscene. Anyone that says he can't afford to have the bumper fitted at a body shop is an idiot. It's a hobby and a dream to this guy. Just because he doesn't spend mommy and daddy's money on his bumper then more of mommy and daddy's money on getting it fitted doesn't mean he can't afford it, it means he's a true enthusiast that wants to do the work himself.

I don't know about most of you, but I've done every mod to my car MYSELF and with my own money. This guy deserves credit for seeing what he wanted and getting his dream car, while maintaining a good life for his family.

FatalCloud 05-22-2009 08:32 AM

wow and i thought i was bad, my car is about 3000 more than my yearly salary. but i'm single and i don't have a family like him. yeah props to him and i'm sure he's not sacrificing anything YET and they live an okay average life but with that $, he can buy a much better home for his family, put some aside for his kids education etc. kind of selfish of him. i'm not criticizing him for living his dream, but what benefits does he get from buying a lambo? he only drove it 1800 miles/yr. his wife/kids don't benefit from it. and don't say they can drive it 15 yrs later when they grow up. that's retarded.

BNR32_Coupe 05-22-2009 08:52 AM

this guy's going through an EXTREME mid-life crisis. oh no, life's almost over! quick, i have to buy something to dull the pain of time before it's too late!

underscore 05-22-2009 09:17 AM

^ except he's been working on this since he was 6....

I'm guessing he wanted a newer one as a Diablo would probably require a lot more expensive maintenance from it's age. I would also guess he put a lot of thought and research into what Lambo would be the best to get for his repair budget.

Well it's shown that he CAN afford it. And it's not about the car, it's about how he achieved his dream.

it doesn't say he jerry rigged it, just that he ran into some problems when installing it. I'm guessing most bodyshops wouldn't have a clue about fitting a Lambo, unless you go to some rediculously overpriced asswipe. The bumper is optional anyways, so how does that affect what he can afford.

And you're confusing a hobbiest, with people who only pay to play.

Timpo 05-22-2009 09:20 AM

I am a bit surprised how there is a market for fake bodykit for lambo owners.

BoS_DC2 05-22-2009 09:23 AM

$20-$30k in pounds equals to around $50k CAD, still quite a feat!

Sounds like he's living a pretty good life too.
