xtriple Posted March 22, 2015 Share Posted March 22, 2015 I'd have spent less time (and money) chasing women and much more buying a BIG warehouse and filling it with all the crap I couldn't give away back in the day! I'd also have taken much better care of myself and worn better shoes (wet decking and piss poor shoes... much future agro!). brickwall, Parky and STUNO 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chas4545 Posted March 22, 2015 Share Posted March 22, 2015 I would keep my 240, 740, and 850 and YDS7. I would not buy an MZ. I would enjoy knowing that just because people are family does not mean they can treat you like shit and I would tell them to FRO. tooSavvy and cros 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

skattrd Posted March 22, 2015 Share Posted March 22, 2015 Not go to uni or travelling, buy houses before the boom, sell them, buy one place outright with loads of land and barns. Fill barns with VW split screen campers and mk1/2 scrotes. Sell scrotes/campers when money needed. garethj and forddeliveryboy 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
STUNO Posted March 22, 2015 Share Posted March 22, 2015 I would have kept the house I took in a swop as part of a deal in the mid 80's.Value then $70,000. value now the thick end of $1,000,000. I didn't need the money then, but I do now ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Negative Creep Posted March 22, 2015 Share Posted March 22, 2015 Buy a Capri or Mini as one of my first cars, not waste money trying to turn a 1.0 litre AX into a GT and just buy a GT in the first place. Still, out of the 35 or so cars I've had only 2 were actual lemons so I don't think I've done too badly all things considered Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DSdriver Posted March 22, 2015 Share Posted March 22, 2015 A couple of missed opportunities like not buying a Chapron DS for 2 bags or an Espada for the same money. Mind you, both would either have bankrupted me or would have been left to rot on the drive so I guess things turned out for the best. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DS20 Posted March 22, 2015 Share Posted March 22, 2015 I'd have taken GCSE physics instead of biology (don't ask), and wouldn't have sold the Renner 25 V-6 that I sold when I was 19 because my parents thought it was 'inappropriate'.
