Maxing out the credit card..
Someone make me feel better and tell me how much they've loaded their credit cards with scoob related purchases??
I've got my rad to change so thought i'd go all out and do the timing belt, tensioners and front crank seal whilst i'm there. I work at a parts company so can get decent parts at cost price so that all works out at around 250 quid.
But i also need to do my discs and pads. They're the 330mm alcon/prodrive ones so that alone is going to cost circa 500 quid from godspeed
I also fancy a prodrive rear spoiler and some tein coilovers (as she's going to be used at Castle Combe)
Hmmm circa 1500 which will max me out

I don't even want to go there
I've stopped using the cards and save for everything now, it is slower, but less painful in the long term.
As for you Mr Budgen - don't you own the credit card companies

I've just brought a STI 5 spoiler, STI boot lid and H&S exhaust, cost me £580 and still need to get the spoiler, boot lid and skirts sprayed. So another £400 maybe ha. That's near enough 1 large (The Fast and Furious lingo.).
DO IT! Lol
