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
And now
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
It turns out I am a useless Pay Master General.

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.

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

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.

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