Fikret is having a wonderful time here at the moment. One of his passions, apart from me of course! is cars. Although he is not a mechanic, he can sit in a car, drive it for a couple of 100 meters and he instinctively knows whats wrong if anything with the car.
Last year when we arrived here he just didnt believe how cheap second hand cars are here in the UK. In Turkey I paid a small fortune for my car.
Once we were sorted in our accomodation here in the Uk we bought a second hand VW Jetta. It was 18 years old, but had ten months MOT and 5 months tax on it, and we only paid £200 !!!! Fikret was thrilled with it, it never let us down once, never cost us any parts and we sold it this year before the MOT ran out for £150 !! This car in Turkey would have cost in the region of £2000 yes Im serious.... so now Fikret has the bug.. He bought me a small Metro car as I needed it for work. The day after I left for Turkey in May he bought another car!! a Corsa so he sold the jetta and almost cried lol Now hes taken to visiting the local car scrappies and yesterday while I was at work he bought another car.. a Honda lol
Ive decided that I wont travel back to Turkey without him or work Saturdays again so he wont buy another ...
But now we are heading towards the second hand car business ....Hes planning to "do" the Corsa and Honda up and sell them on at a profit and then he will keep searching for deals to buy and sell, so watch this space!
Its only a hobby and hes very happy doing this so I will step back, help with the paperwork and phone calls and wait till he becomes a second hand car millionaire ......
Toys for boys ahhhhhhh. Gotta love him
