I met this bloke while on a ski lift and we had a chat, I discovered he was worth around £6 million and he told me the amazing story of how he got so rich.

Basically, when he left school he had little or no formal qualifications but he was good with his hands and he knew how to sell.

He knew he was never going to make it in an office job so it was nose to the grindstone time.

He left school at 15 and bought an old series Land Rover and spent a few weeks fixing it up, he then sold it for profit. He then used the money to buy another and so on. He did this a lot over the next 35 years, buying, repairing, selling, buying again.

He eventually moved onto Defenders in the '90s and then onto Range Rovers in the last eight or nine years.

Even during the really bad times, he plugged away. He worked long hours as you do in the Land Rover trade, sometimes not seeing his wife and kids for days in pursuit of his goal.

Then his uncle died and left him £6 million.

A real heartwarming story.

I'll take the Vortex scope cover you have listed in the Pay it Forward thread.
