Default Smiles per miles...

A year ago i thought i would start keeping a log of all the £££££ i spent on running the scoob for a year. Now i'm just your average user, done approx 9,500 miles over the year, made a few mods but nothing to excessive. Anyway this is the breakdown

£2,011 Petrol
£670 Insurance
£210 Road Tax
£1,931 Other
£4,822

The above excludes my monthly loan repayment and of course the killer depreciation. The total of which i am estimating at around £6,000 for both over the year

The 3 biggest items in "other" consist of supply and fitting of BC Coilovers with geometry, the 5 year cambelt service and 2 new tyres

So then, around £10,000 this year........roughly a pound per mile. But am i still smiling......you betcha!

i started to do something similar with my first scoob. but when i started to average out money, i stopped when i got to 10k per year of owning it.

i also had 1 month where i spent just over 1k just on petrol
