turbo has cost me well over 10k, inc buying it, over last 3 years :D

[schakal]

absolutely bugger all due to being mechanically inept! give me a factory to wire, consider it done. put me in front of an engine bay
.

^^ thats the problem ^^

my cars cost me more or less fokk all to keep on the road
due to me doing 99% of the work myself .
also keeping spares of almost every mechanical /electrical part does help big time !!!

i had 3 brake downs last winter ,including a clutch cable and a fokked
alternator . my car was always on the road the next day

you will have to step/man up one way or another , 10 years a go i would not know how to check oil level . look at me now ,i can even change it these days :D :D

Lost count how much I've spent, thousands more to go too

[talkingfish]

thousands... probably over £8k including the car over the past 3 years... don't really want to think about it... never sat down and totalled everything up either - probably best that way...

[Wobba]

Total, probably about the £13,000 mark over the last 2 years, not including the car itself.

Bit more to go, then its fast as fook, AND mint

[Evogone]

I have spent well over 10k on the rallycar......

[talkingfish]

general impression that these cars are a labour of love then... otherwise we'll all be locked up!!

Now I've thought about it & had a proper look, I don't think I've done too bad. Including buying the car, I've spent about £6.5 k, which includes servicing, wear & tear replacements, upgrades, repairs from when I break it, new engine & box.

I could probably round that figure down quite a bit if I didn't break a shitload of brand new mechanical stuff that I got for free, when I had a little sideways off road excursion also from bit's I've removed from my 2 valvers & sold on for profit :D

The way I like to look at it is, I've got myself an almost brand new top of the range car, that I like a hell of a lot more than most of the newer cars I could've bought, for around about £6 k which isn't bad going really :D

Over the years of car ownership ive spent enough to have bought myself a Bugatti veyron.
