Default £21,651 to spend...what car

Well I would have if I had saved all the money from not smoking

I packed up in 1996 , smoked 20 a day , and average the price out at £4.20 a pack over the last 14 years and it comes to over 21k

just need to convince the missus now that i have saved the money

I gave up about 2 years 8 months ago and according to that saved £4k. I must admit I have got a lot more things (My Skoda and a 500bhp engine for me Esc Cos) since giving up. Before I gave up I could hardly afford petrol for the Esc Cos So giving up makes a massive difference to ya bank balance
