Cars and houses

[walker]

Near where my mum lives, the house's there are roughly the same as you mentioned, and some idiot has gone and bought a Bentley Continental and stuck it on his drive, It looks friggin stupid

Just noticed that you moved the decimal point in your OP.

I'm no longer impressed by the house

I cocked up my sums earlier and have moved the decimal point.

Note to self: 2 places to the right, dumkopf!

Pity though, that would have been a nice house

I'd've been impressed, too, as that would make it worth around 3 million quid (I wish)!!

I used to have a neighbour like that. He used to buy big, but very old, cars and work on them himself. Usually the cars were purchased from recently widowed women who were selling their late husbands car because it was too big for them. As a result of their age and a general lack of interest in such cars they were purchased quite cheaply. They did, indeed, look daft beside what was a very small bungalow.

My car is worth 0.1% of my house and my 3 bikes are worth my car!

 

[ChrisKH]

My one road bike is worth my car!

 

[simonali]

My bike is 5.5% of my car. Am I to be ostrichsized from this place now I've stated that?

Any sentence containing '3' and 'ducks' should be banned. Sorry mr_hippo

if you park the three cars in a row one behind the other......

Are you suggesting I get a more expensive car?

No, a cheaper house.

 

[simonali]

No, a cheaper house.

Funny you should say that, I'm seriously thinking that this is the way to go with the next one to avoid paying that (3%) stamp duty bollox. I wanna get a sub £250K place and then do it up just to give the government the 2 fingered hand gesture they richly deserve!

Its like one of those maths questions...

If my car is worth 13% of the value of my house and my bikes are worth 4.4% of the value of my car. How much is a pound of potatoes in space?

My car is worth 0.1% of my house and my 3 bikes are worth my car!

My car is worth 0.067% the value of my house - honest!

Mrs Rab's car is worth considerably more though

As for my good bike it is worth 5 times the value of the car

 

[rich p]

My car is worth 0.067% the value of my house - honest!

Oneupmanship!

A house up the road from me, which I would guess has a market value of around £200K-£250K, has a brand new BMW M3 (£51K) parked outside and the same goes for a few other houses in the area i.e. the cost of the car parked on the drive is equivalent to around 20-25% of the value of the house. Isn't that a little excessive?

I've just worked mine out and my car is worth 2.9% of my house.

Perhaps the neighbour's car is a company car?
