How much did you spend at the ring???

Me and My stu spent £1k between us, we actually had about £150 left, but I allowed

him to buy some 3dr models, as they were really cheap with the remaining dosh

Adding on the ferry hotel and insuarances probably near on £1600 all inc...

then my STu spen another £1600 actually getting the car ready

well worth it though, we are just in the process of looking into a short break in Sept

Doesnt seem too bad cost wise as long as you dont take out any barriers then

So a budget of around £800/900 would be suffice to go then?
