    You need to set yourself some sort of challenge for next year... Start off with a couple of hundred quid banger and work your way up to 20K profit in 12 months or something. That would make a great watch 👍🏻

    Interesting video. I had a mate who would haunt the big car auctions looking for dirty, muddy, unkempt cars. He'd buy one, drive it back, get it valeted and then put it through the auction again.
    That's all he did, cosmetic stuff. He'd always turn a profit on every one without getting oily ever!
