Default how much is your car standing you ??

just as a matter of interest how much have you spent on your pride and joy ? say buying it and any work and mods you have done to it just a rough round about figure, plus how long you have owned it.
ive a 90 saff cossie bought for £4500 vrt was another £1000 and rough total spent on it since aug 06 is bout £3000. car prob only worth still 4500 or £5000

Paid £5900 in 1997.
Spent circa 12K in parts since. (Used to do concours in 99/00/01 so much money spent on parts around that time)

Car is currently valued by RSOC at 6K

dan how the fuck have you spent that, seeing as you beg, borrow or steal most of the car parts.

either there is a serious spec i've missed

not a clue what my car stands me at.

Dont bother counting.
