LOL,
“in the real world”!!!!! :evil:
You make a great psychology test subject 88mph. Try not to think of any disconnection from “my world” and yours. It’s the same world. You hit the nail on the head with your analogy of a balancing act. If you put your very heavy dream weight on one side of the scales it will simply overbalance. The key is to put small bits of the dream weight on one side matched on the other side with what life change or compromise you chose to make it balance. Giant mountains are all made of molecules the same molecules in a single grain of sand.
How hard you work at it, is up to you. How you choose to do it is up to you. Doing nothing with a submissive outlook is not the answer.
I started with a £20 car sold it for £75, bought two £20 cars, put the £35 in the bank and sold one for £200 and one for £50, put £100 in the bank, and so on. The best was a £15 car (yes £15) that I sold for £8500, and it just went on over 30 years. Ok they needed work, but my time was free.
I also took 3 jobs, working 6am to 4pm at my main job then 5pm to 11pm (evening manager at Tesco) then working weekends on my 3rd job as a courier driver. Most weeks I worked around 100 to 104 hours. The killer is the tax man as both 2nd & 3rd jobs were taxed at 40% so a mere £5 hr at Tesco paid only £3 and the courier job paid about the same on double time.
It’s about determination to fuel your dreams.
To answer your question on the Bentley the answer is no, I don’t intend to sell it, just enjoy it. I’ve modified the active suspension and lowered the ride 30mm, removed the electronic 155mph speed limiter and the factory at Crewe tell me not to ever exceed 205mph as that’s the critical failure speed of the transmission. Here’s me taking it around Nurburgring
