You stay at school till your 18 and most go onto college. So no lack of education there. Also America has the best of everything, from americans, so they can't all be dumb.

As for my car, i've spent the last option plus some more



that makes me laugh over 15K not including your car for that


No, i have not spent over £15k soley on modifications, it included the cost of the car. It is not your money so dont worry. I ahve bought and sold a lot of things for my car hence why the total is so high. Could be done cheaper if i done it all in one go, but i build my car, change my mind, adjust it. I have had 2 sets of alloys, 3 audio systems, 3 exhaust system designs etc and it all adds up.

Still, you wouldn't understand anyway, not expecting you to, nor do i really want you too.

I am at work, i dont sit online all day, was a brief look before i offically started so didn't read the post fully no. This does not mean I cannot read though.

Cost of mods so far excluding the car has to be around £13k

Same as dude, ive only spent 3 days in america in all my life Although the bahamas cruise made up for it although that was about 8-9 years ago, so cant remember alot of it, but nevermind.

Staying with the topic, ive spent a grand total of 200 and a bit quid...not alot really but i have really nice parents, so all the bills go to them

It is in South florida, about 10 miles away from where they filmed the boat scene in 2 fast 2 furious... its just been built... its a bloody nice investment at 300k or abouts


wow Im going back to Florida next August but I haven't ventured down south yet. Im taking my little brother back to Orlando. That is something I would LOVE to do, buy a nice place in America although I would prefer somewhere nice in Calafornia. But I haven't been to south Florida, theres so many place I want to see.
While you're out in Orlando, visit Kissimee Old Town on a Saturday night. Last few years I was there they had a big weekly cruise full of proper all American hot rods and Fast&Furious type motors. Not your average UK cruise either, these cars are amazing Not one Ned in sight either
I reckon it'd be your kind of thing

Oh yeah, and I've spent about £1,000 - £1,500 modifying my car.

Ive only spent about £800 so far but by the end of the year it'l be over £1000.

I do it as a hobby so it's where my money goes, just like some people fish for a hobby or buy lots of scalextric, just this hobby is a litlle more expensive!!!
