The vanishing money act
 

Well we have had the car nearly 4 months now and it made me think that so much money has been spent on her already. How is it possible to spend soooo much money on a car. She doesn't really look that different to when we bought her but changes that had to be made.

Here she is the week we picked her up

I remember when we first joined SN , someone said welcome to the world of empty wallets but I never thought it would be this bad.

I think what may make it worst for us is that there isn't anyone to say " no you can't have that" because we are both as bad as each other ( Criss understands) and to think there is already more money going on her again next week :cry:

It turns out I am a useless Pay Master General.:cuckoo:

Why do you think the average term of scoob ownership is around two years?? :wonder: :cry: :D :D :D

oh god, I certainly wont be getting rid of ours any time soon.She might be with me till i die.

Your only starting:lol1: :lol1: :lol1: :lol1: :D

:lol: Pot calling the kettle black comes to mind there Gerriant ;) :D

Yes, we are only starting but thats what worries me.
I can't imagine what we are gonna be like in two years time, Probably living in a caravan hitched up to the scoob but at least I'll still have the scoob.

:hjtwofing

Thats what I mean its only starting:lol1: I said I was not going to mod this one but its starting all over again :D :D

You left yourself wide open there I could not resist it :D

:lol: :lol: :D :D :lol1: :lol1:

My paymaster general perfers to spend the hard earned on these thingshttp://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedi...otsofshoes.JPG

:cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry:

And you've only been going half a tomato season..! :)

I know the feeling .Ive had mine since beggining of April. My bank balance is £2000 lighter and mine still looks the same apart from exhaust. When you get the bug it seems that spending dosen't stop lol:)

James

spent 1600 quid on mine in the two months ive owned it not including fuel,and my wheels springs etc still aint on. doesnt look like it will stop anytime too:thumb:

I would have liked to have spent 2 grand on her , that would have been ok but its a little bit more than that now.
You'll have to wait and see what we have spent this week, probably won't be on the car till next week though, plus we are still waiting for a FMIC and ECU to be delivered.

Let me have a Guess.............:wonder:


No, I can't spoil your glory :lol1:

ooowww, I thought you were going to give the game away then.

Gutted it won't be done by saturday,:cry: but good things come to those who wait:luvlove: . Just hope it won't be too long a wait.:norty:

You have got too learn to keep your hands in your pockets, and have your phone line disconected, it will only lead to tears, :cry: :D

John

What's the point of earning money if you can't spend it?

I do like the look of those insulated manifold spacer

I'm up to just under £6k now just on mods and over £1k on running costs (servicing, tyres etc)
Had the car just over 3 years, so i'm averaging over £2k a year, but it's all worth it, maybe:wonder:

I've still got a long list of stuff i want to do some of which are very expensive.

We've hit that target already in 4 months

Now that's just Braggin :cry:

Not bragging just :cry: at the thought of another couple of grand going next week.
Like Gem said she is a useless Pay Master General, she spends more than me.:cry:
