Euan i have been in this situation twice first with my escos sold it & bought a flat tried to be sensible once i was settled i got the itch for another car..Scince then i have prob wasted / lost about 40 k in cars & still going with this saph i have now bought thought i was all bye with cars nt hen now im settled in my new house the itch came back.If i had just kept my escort in the first place i would be better off than i am just now.Cause you have to start all over again think carefully about what your doing because the money will burn a hole & before you know it you will have something else & the spending will start.
