Saving for things really does suck. Not being the most patient of people when it comes to saving for new bits for my 67. Currently living like a student so i can order my new rims , some Erco's.

What are you saving for?

Thanks dan

Still have to pass it by the wife yet.

- my CAMS license (yes drew, i haven't forgotten)
- VALLA
- a funky new haircut and a facial and some other girlie pampering like fancy moisturiser and hair goop and all manner of hair products in fact and maybe even an eyelash tint (hello in my dreams!!!!!!)

the list is virtually endless!!!!
thankgod i have 2 credit cards.

thankgod i have 2 credit cars (oops, did i say that already?)
thankgod you can pay rego on credit cards.
thankgod you can pay virtually EVERYTHING by credit card.
thankgod i am not someone who needs matierial things to make themselves feel like a complete and whole person, thankgod i don't judge my own sucess by the "things" that i possess thankgod my friends still see me as a valid human even if i don't have the latest ipod or video mobile or funkiest sneakers.
but thankgod it is free to daydream about all the stuff i would like to buy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

New gutters/spouting, replastering my bathroom, the LUXURY of paying someone else to paint my art deco ceilings :thumb , Nambucca accomodation, ummmmmmmmmm... so much to spend money on, so little time.... hehehee
Thank goodness the car is already finished! :kiss

a MoTec engine management system....

Saving for the last few bits to complete the front brakes/suspension on my splitty. Then I'll start saving to go on my OE next year.

saving, seems i cant do it like i used to

so what am i attempting to save for?

1)a type 3 square to drive around while i (see 3)
2)rego for my bug
3)get someone to fix my bug
4)pay off my dad for buying me this delicious new ibook G4 (HAPPY JOY, ITS A NEW TOY!!)
5)pay off my mastercard
6)save up for earthcore this november

somehow i dont think that they will be saved/paid for in that particular order....

oooh... and 7) a funky haircut, or dreads (depending on how long it takes me to save up for them)

well to start with

1- new vw golf mk5 when released, which means that I can pull the bug off the road for a full rebuild
2- new washing machine
3- porche brake conversion
4-new suspension for the L bug
5- a 2332 and GB for the super bug
6- new mobile p900!!!!
7- new clothes.

but hopefully soon get apay rise!!!!! and get some loans and that way its forced savings and get the golf and washing machine!!!

personally i reckon you should put the washing machine at the top of the list drew......for no particular reason except that a man can never have too many whitegoods!

That big bottle , pot whatever you throw your loose change in , the pro's and con's my friends......................

Pro's is that i've managed to save $367.65 in a space of 6 months. This pays a third towards my new rims!!!!!!!

Con's is that i've had to count it all out twice!!!!!!!:bounce

Trying to save for a custom exhaust for the type IV (in my bug) - that is going to hurt the bank balance.

Also need to put some aside for the order coming from CB performance (credit card) plus the mallory unilite dizzy from aircooled.net (that is really going to hurt).

Of course there is a thing called a wedding in October as well - better put a few dollars aside for that (now it is really hurting).

ouch.

for me quite simple,
1: paying ski trip to NZ
2: saving to put a lick of paint on my 76 bus,
3: adjustable spring plates to help me change the rear tyres if i get a flat
(bit hard to get em out at the moment)

2) $550 for new coil-over shockers for the kombi
3) Reco brakes on kombi (parts only)
4) Cd/MP3 player for kombi
5) Retrim seats in kombi
6) New headliner for kombi
7) Panelbeat & paint kombi
8) New exhaust for kombi

[Edited on 31-5-2004 by KruizinKombi]

am now saving up for spending money whilst in New Zealand Skydiving.

Hmmmm

Just watched the TopGear video of the Mercedes McLaren SLR motor car ... and well lets just say that there was no need for porn to get me off ...

That car is unbelievable!!! I had a friend watch it who despite his best intentions is a die hard Ford fan, who is anti everything from Germany (I think just to spite me) and even he was left stunned, amazed and begging for more. It's a shame its an automatic, but hey if I had a car like that I wouldn't want to be held up with changing gears and such, when the left hand could be better used for fondling whatever hottie is in the passenger seat!

If you haven't seen this car - do yourself a favour and get this clip! ...and don't forget the tissue box!

hmmmm Savings = $123.37
McLaren Mercedes SLR ~ $600,000.00

...not long to go now

back to the empi gtv whell for me.

no NZ trip just yet

DOH.
