Yep...dunno for how much longer though cause the premium is more than double versus limited use.

I haven't daily'd mine for nearly 2 years now. Been rocking a Mini Cooper S.

I miss driving it, I may just start dailying it again so it can be enjoyed. 

What's the point of owning it, if I'm hardly ever driving it. Although prices have skyrocketed, they're still just a GTST shitbox.

As far as insurance, enthusiasts seem to be a fair bit cheaper than shannons and do decent values.

I have a similar mindset...I mean I love my car but to me it’s still the 10k car I bought 12 years ago. They’re not worth 25-30k to me. I guess someone who never owned one or someone who has a lot of cash to burn might see it differently. The sentimentality keeps me from parting with it, but it is nice to know that if it gets stolen then I’ll be decently compensated for it.

I tried with enthusiast and they were around the same price as Shannon’s, but they were happy to insure for a little more. I went with Shannon’s because I’ve never heard bad about their claims process and they have multi policy/vehicle discounts which will help in future. Their excess is also only about $650 versus others that make you pay more for being a Skyline.

I have thought about cashing in.  Got as far as writing up the ad, was going to ask for 27k but just couldn't bring myself to actually put the ad up. It came down to what would be a worthy replacement that could do everything the GTST does and put the same smile on my face. I couldn't come up with a worthy replacement for that sort of money, so it stays.

Pretty much why they’re worth that now.

Fkin oath...still got my eye on the big prize, but it has been good to me regardless of how things turn out.

Nothing in any market compares to potential crypto gains, long or short term. 
If you had put a fraction of your 88E money in any crypto... gains would be laughable in comparison.

I've drank the crypto kool-aid and theres no looking back.
I've been tempted to sell the cars to fund more, but judging by how this bull market is going, I don't think I'll have to.

88E is just one spec stock and going from 0.7 cents to 9.5 cents is potentially 13-14x your investment in the space of a few months - assuming perfect timing. My timing netted me about 7-8x return, which is incredible for any investment really.

To get that or more out of trading crypto in most recent times, you’d have had to enter circa March last year and held til start of this year. I believe in crypto’s profitability short/medium/long and do invest in it myself with all those plans; some nice wins so far, but 88E still leading my revenue. I’m not so quick to discount the profitability of spec stocks and being tangible investments.

What coins/tokens are you in?

 

Held a bunch of stuff from 2017, went heavy btc, eth & ltc since October and earning interest on them. Sold my alts too early... thought most "old" low cap coins would die in the ass. That was a poor prediction lol

I think ETH will pump hard before BTC takes off. So trying to make the most of that trade. I've got a bunch of charts and metrics I follow, so plan to cash out fairly conservatively August-September and buy back in next year or later.

If BTC hits sub-$35kusd in 2022, ill be all over that.

Also trying to learn yield farming via polygon. Its a bit late to jump on that train, but its more about learning how to use it rather than making bank.
I pulled almost everything off the ASX, theres a new financial system being built on crypto and it will eat the world. Chainlink, Cardano, Algorand, Ethereum have already started.

It is such an awfully unpredictable market but the instant trading at all hours of the day is a huge advantage instead of being slave to announcements and market opens.

I had 10k of DOGE at 6 cents just trying to short term it for a couple grand when the Elon tweets first started hyping it...so I’m a little pissy right now having sold out of that when it wasn’t doing much. No one in their right mind would have stayed in with a substantial holding though...so well done to the insane people who did.

lol

I have thought about moving on my GTR so many times it isn't funny, but the first question is always "what am I gonna replace it with?" also my depth perception has thrown off two times i've been in the GTR since I'd moved on Golf R for a TDI Touareg. 

And when I do take it for a quick spin, the amount of necks breaking from the pedestrians is mind blogging and amusing, especially in an area full of ratty old Falcons and Commodores.

I remember you where talking about selling yours when they where only going for 25-30k. Imagine how stupid you'd be feeling right now.

So the golf is gone now? How many k's had you racked up?

Yeah, so crazy to think about it. Should get off my lazy arse and start buying coilovers as the one i've got is shot and chuck new bushes all over including subframe (have everything bar ball joints but don't think i'll need these for time being) then start driving it. 

Sold the Golf (definitely regretted selling) with 220k or thereabouts kms, bought it at 114k.

How much have you invested and gained in crypto

You would have  lambo by now if you went heavy in 2017?

the key word is "bunch". if i had kept it all in BTC i would be doing well. But pissing a lot of it away on altcoins was no.1 mistake and we're seeing everyone do the same thing now.
I knew that a lot of development and changes would come during the bear market, but I should have stayed in the loop the whole time. Learnt about traditional markets over 2020 and all I learnt was that its all shit compared to crypto lol in both a returns perspective and "greater good" perspective.

Pro tip: you're not crypto rich if you have to cash it back out to fiat.

So whats your plan now?

 

Whats your current portfolio and what are you looking at?

So I have 3x "categories"
 

1. HODL
2. big boi plays
3. speculative stuff

1. mostly in cold storage (BTC, ETH). Around 25% on Blockfi generating 6% in the native token (BTC, ETH, LTC, ALGO). Also mining on my home PC most of the time using NiceHash and then dumping that BTC onto Blockfi.
2. Plays in large caps, mostly ETH/BTC. I sold a bunch of  ASX stuff in April and poured it into ETH. Started selling it into BTC today, with first price target at 0.0755, got a few more targets above 0.10. BTC is estimated to peak in a few months time, so will take some profit there, potentially move back into large caps (ETH, LTC) because there is a decent price history based around the halving.
3. Got random alts on KuCoin & Bittrex. I like, but dont necessarily own, COMP, RUNE, Chainlink, ALGO, XRP (because of the price swings), AAVE, MATIC, POWR. Just buy when it looks good, sell when it's pumped. Not always quick or easy but it's just play money. Got some USDC on polygon trying to suss out Defi over there and the yield farming. Wish I'd been aware of this stuff in early 2020.

Nice 

How much do you make these days on crypto mining? 

My largest holdings are BNB/eth/btc with about 20 other alt/shitcoins. Also on blockfi

my portfolio has gone from about $4k a year ago to over $100k mainly due to BNB going like 65x

    • Must have been an absolute nightmare to drive when the power steer was out, the rack ratio/wheel size/caster is all set up for power assistance
    • Welcome to SAU, what are you looking at buying?
    • I checked the injectors again (1 and 2, since they’re easiest to access) to make sure they weren’t clogged. Even though the entire fuel system had been cleaned, I wanted to be certain. Everything looked clean, so I reinstalled and connected everything. When I started the car to confirm everything was okay, it immediately revved up high, so I shut it off straight away. I checked to see if I’d missed a vacuum hose or something, but everything was connected. On the second attempt, the car ran without the high idle, but I noticed a distinct “compressed air” sound coming from the engine bay. Tracing the sound, I pushed injector #6 forward slightly and the noise stopped — it turned out it wasn’t seated properly, despite the fuel rail being bolted down. While holding it in place, the car idled steadily without stalling and ran for over 5 minutes. At this point, I pulled all six injectors out just in case I hadn’t seated them correctly or dirt had gotten onto the O-rings. Unfortunately, I discovered that I had damaged 3 out of 6 injectors (the OEM 270cc ones) during installation. So yes, this was my fault. Since only the pintle caps were damaged, I’ve ordered a Fuel Injector Service Kit from NZEFI to refurbish them. In the meantime, I reinstalled my new injectors – the car now idles fine for over 15 minutes without stalling. I have not attempted to drive it so far. It’s not perfect yet, as it hesitates when the throttle is pressed, but it’s a big improvement. Unplugging the IACV with the new injectors idles at around 800rpm, even with the IACV screw tightened fully. But this is probably due to tune.
    • I wanted to try and preserve the front bumper as long as possible, they're not cheap and are made to order in Japan. Taking inspiration from my previous K11 Micra build where I made an undertray for the Impul bumper, I did the same for this BN Sports bumper but a little slimmed down.  This time round I only made a 'skid plate' (if that's the correct wording/term) for just the bumper surface area, the Micra version covered the gap like an undertray. Starting off with a sheet of mild steel approx. 0.9mm thick 4ft x 2ft in size. I traced around the bumper, cut it out and cleaned the edges. Luckily I was able to get two halves from one piece of metal In the video I installed it as is, but I've since then I've removed it to spray and add a rubber edging trim. The rubber trim is suitable for 1-2mm and it's a really nice tight fit. The bolts had to be loosened due to the plates being too tight against the bumper, the trim wouldn't push on I used some stainless M6 flat headed bolts for a flusher finish (rather than hex heads poking down), I believe this style fastener is used for furniture too incase you struggle to source some. The corner's are a little wider, but this may be an advantage incase I get close to bumping it  The front grill got some attention, finally getting round to repairing it. Upon removal one fixing pulled itself out of the plastic frame, one side is M8 that fixes inside of the frame, where as the other side is M5. Not knowing I could get replacements, I cut down an M8 bolt, threaded it inside the frame along with a decent amount of JB Weld.  The mesh was replaced to match the bumper. One hole on the bonnet/hood had to be drilled out to 8mm to accommodate the new stud, once the glue had set it could be refitted. I think the reason the grill was double meshed was to hide the horn/bonnet latch (which makes sense) but I much prefer it matching the bumper Bumper refitted and it's looking much better IMO The Youtube video can be seen here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bVZP35io9MA
    • The video for the servicing and fuel filter change can be seen here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uLJ65pmQt44 One of the main jobs I wanted to do before the car officially went on the road, was to remove the awful looking blue silicone hoses. There's nothing wrong with having coloured silicone hoses, but I realise as I'm getting older I prefer monotone engine bays with a splash of colour on the engine cover(s). I cover this in a lot more detail in the Youtube video, so unfortunately there's limited photos of the process. The intercooler, upper radiator, boost vacuum and upper breather hoses were all changed to black silicone with mikalor clamps. The only blue left is a blanking cap at the back of the inlet manifold and the GReddy pulleys (which will be replaced for stock when the cambelt gets replaced) While the intercooler pipes were off I gave them a quick clean/polish too A before photo I do have a replacement air filter on its way. Fuse box covers were painted blue, they're now satin black Another job on the list while the bumper was off, is to add some mesh https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/54737966256_99b28bfa30_c.jpg[/img] I was hoping to use some thin wire to secure it, but it seems I've misplaced it and the wire I had was too thick to twist easily. I ended up using cable ties for the time being https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/54737131882_c2b7989dcc_c.jpg[/img] Was pleasant to see this https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/54737131627_8b2aab13b3_c.jpg[/img] The last thing to do was to fix the front grill and re-mesh that to match but I ran out of time The Youtube video can be seen here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R4FsF6tgizE&t=23s
