      Tbh I've always found cars like the Porsche GT3 etc kind of boring to watch. Like we all know the car is awesome to drive and everything works etc. These types of cars are more interesting to watch since you don't know what to expect

      Same. One of the reasons I don't watch the grand tour is because they aren't doing the same challenges. Everything feels scripted and fake, and when somebody mentioned it they made a whole episode making fun of the person who mentioned it.

The car was mint, 1 owner low mileage and when the driver arrived with the car a trader was waiting with £750 who went on to sell it for £1200ish. It's a rarity but as a motor trader it's a story I love to tell. 🤘

      It doesn't work though.
      Most people who would buy a £250 car don't have motor traders insurance.
      Plus as road Tax now cannot be transferred to a new owner he would have had to pay road tax to legally be able to drive it on the road..
      To buy a car, insure it, tax it, fuel it for £250 is impossible.. This video is far from realistic

    For 250 in Croatia you get a decent yearly public transport pass.
    Cars under €3000 are a no go, also you must be extremely carefull with more expensive used pieces because most of them are crap imported from Germany
