Default Savings are getting there.

Want to get a black blob eye for my 25th birthday in november, so im saving hard at £700 a month, got 4 more paydays to go then i should be able to get it Sorry for the pointless thread, but never really managed to save so its good for me. Wish the next few months would hurry up, xbox is getting abused to stop me going out lol..

Good luck. I can't save at all, more of a wake up one morning and go on a spending spree type of guy.

A black blob is one of the few cars I see that makes me wanna sell my blue blob.

Thanks for the inspiration guys, got 10 hours overtime tonight so its all going towards the goal, black or blue is my ideal colour just have to wait for the right one to pop up. Dont want to save this hard and jump on the first one i see. I use to have a wrx classic when i was younger and naive but grew up a bit now ande want something newer and thats in good condition. Long gone are the days of driving round in bodged cars with **** mods etc.

Cheers
