I'm too scared to add it up. Definitely four figures, and the first sure as hell won't be a "1".

Exclamation

After saying I wouldn't do anything to the car...

£4,000+ (since March 2003)

Average of £500 per month...if it stays like this I will have spent an extra £18,000 at the end of the PCP scheme...

I feel like I need to atone for my wanton ways now.

Well, over £12K on my Evo VII, then changing cars to the Evo VIII & another 1.2K on mods for that, then the change to the Spec C & another £6K on mods for that.

So it'll have to be some Stage 4 guys to top the 19.2K, sure there's plenty out there

Nothing at all...just love the standard look. Don't agree with the clear side repeater brigade. Tango is good enough for Subaru, so its good enough for me.

hmmmmm, thought hard before replying to this thread and just checked that i aquired the car on 25/7/02, that makes it 15 months old, so it's hard to guess what falls within 12 months

just checked hidden invoices at work and i think it comes to about 24.5k including this weeks work so i'd guess 20k in 12 months

wot i could of done with that....if i could turn back the clock..
