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

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?)

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?

Get what I'm saying here? | You have the exact kind of mentality I'd expect from someone from Surrey. 
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!

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.

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

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.

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.

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. Quote:

And it's not about the car, it's about how he achieved his dream. Quote:

Must be a Surrey thing. | 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.

$20-$30k in pounds equals to around $50k CAD, still quite a feat!
Sounds like he's living a pretty good life too.
