Age 27, age of missus 22

Check out my scooby for the mods and missus

Ive spent about 5.5k so far including the car!

All mods declared though!

 

car looks better than the missus that for sure

 

Age - 36
Car - Spec C
Ownership duration - 3yrs (nearly)

Specification of old set-up in PLUS PROFILE.

New specification (Engine Stage 3) will be published in about two weeks within the SN ARTICLES section on the Spec C, but other bits of the specification can be read within the current SN ARTICLES (option in the menu bar in the top part of the window).

Total cost of parts & labour (to date) - In excess of £30k (not including car )

 

Age - 39

Everything else is in plus profile

Got the car when it was 2.5 years old with 12k on the clock for 11k, which means Ive had it for some 5 years or so, now with 85k on the clock

Good on ya eggy! My mrs thinks that I will out grow performance cars & modding..hell no and Im no where near mid-life crisis...god knows what I'll do then!

Well, in seems in better taste than a "look at how much I've been able to afford to spend on my car.....and at such a tender age too!" contribution

PS in accordance with the tendancy to inflate power outputs, my estimate of length may be a bit "optimistic" in the best tradition of being a bloke!

PPS I'm not a bitter old un!!!!

 

you cinic pmsl

 

Me? Surely not!

Actually, to be fair, I shouldn't muppetise this thread, I do like reading about people's mods and how much they've spent. Makes me feel less guilty!
