moggy the difference is - your cousin HAS a vehicle. So he's well ahead of me!
Since my wife is not remotely interested in joining me for my travels, it's caused quite some friction in the house as you can imagine. So there was no way I could spend a small fortune and blow the family finances - not with one daughter at Uni and the other due to start in September.
She did at least agree that we could invest in bricks and mortar, and that if I could turn a profit on it, I could spend what I made. So I hatched a plan, and I'll know by the end of January if I've received some planning permission which will have made it all worthwhile. I didn't see any other way of affording what I wanted, and I wasn't prepared to compromise, which is why it's taken me so long to get around to it. But I do see it as a good way of financing my dreams, just as your cousin did.
Fastship are you planning on racing trucks? Bloody hell I though racing Defenders and Schlesser type buggies was expensive - trucks are in another league! If so, let me know if you are planning to do the Abu Dhabi Desert Challenge sometime - I can help with some advice and local crew.
