I tried that once, until I got fed up of paying two lots of car insurance, and only getting time to drive the 'posh' car for perhaps a hour a week in total. Didn't see the point of having all that money depreciating in the garage while having to put up with a banger, so now have a two year old car that suits both tasks.
I know the crux of your suggestion is a classic car that is pretty much depreciation proof, but those cars tend to need a lot of tlc and maintenance, which I neither have the time or ability to do myself.Feist - 1234. One camera, one take, no editing. Superb. How they did it

Originally posted by PAH View PostYou may have been right about 5 years ago where there were certainly plenty of old terraced houses in dodgy areas available for 10/11 grand. Now they're going for 60k or more after loads were bought by btl mugs from down south that probably never even saw what they were buying, and will definately not get much of a return seeing as many end up getting compulsory purchased for 10-20 grand by the council for demolition.
