Who Has The Biggest Balls?

[interloper393]

i wish my mum n dad payed to run my cars lol... kinda stupid pointless thread tho, surprised i never posted it

[DR SCHNITZEL]

Well i spend at least 60 quid a week on petrol = 180 miles tops,
insurance 20 quid a week so theres 80.
fixing it has cost me on average inc engine has cost me say 4k over last 2 years
so 40 a week there
 
= 120 a week
 
mot and servicing , tuning
 
10 quid a week =
 
130 squid a week
 
buying it. 6500k
 
100 quid a week isnt off the mark at all, if you actually use the thing and dont have it as an ornament on the drive.... is it really?
 
6750 quid a year, not inc buying it has been my personal experience. but i do like to go out on, late night country lane missions.
 
its mad how this pointless thread has attracted the most attention lol

[DR SCHNITZEL]

also the above apart from petrol is conservative

[DR SCHNITZEL]

just think also if it blows up and its off the road half a year the rebuild is almost paying for itself in fuel savings that is the biggest outgoing.
 
We need lpg

I like your logic on that one

[RedRummy]

i spend about a tank of fuel a week (daily driver LOL) so about £80, call it £100 if I go for a blat at the weekend...

Tax is due soon at £180
Have spent in excess of £5000 this year on bills alone... hopefully that should slow down now, spent the same last year...  (haven\'t even touched the engine yet - seems to be the only good thing on it LOL)

Jesus, i knew I saw your car at J\'s a lot, dude, and often thought you\'ve similar luck to mine, but it\'s bl00dy identical! I coulda just crossed your name out and put mine at the top of your post, save me the effort of typing it out! We\'ve gotta get Jason\'s voodoo car efigy collection off him, for the sake of our wallets!

Mine was working out nice and cheap (2nd car so tank of fuel a month) but then it went pop a few weeks back...

Looking at your £5k thinking this year thus...  

[dj_dee99]

I probably use around £70 of fuel at weekends. Only around £20 or so during the week, as I have another car for going to & from work.
 
Insurance is £40 a month. And I like to be regular with the oil & filter changes (around £25 a pop) and fairly regular with the spark plugs too £44 a time.
 
But all in all, I\'ve never gone short of money & I certainly wouldn\'t expect my parents to pay for anything.

[rx7ben]

Apart from the £7000 i have spent on getting it rebuilt and and other bits ive had done in the last 6months it now costs me
 
£40 per week on fuel
 
£100 per month on insurance
 
£180 per month loan for the car.
 
And i really dont get payed alot it is a struggle every month but i shall sell my body before i sell my Rex :Giggle:Giggle

You want to try having four on the go.....

[rx7boy]

Student,, no regular income just random temp work and have had two FD3s no help from the rents

I reckon, sorry, HOPE that 2008 will be the most expensive year for mine. Will have set me back over £10k including buying, insuring, rebuilding, new turbos (which it turns out I didn\'t really need) and all the other little bits.

Hopefully next year, insurance will drop with me turning 25, engine won\'t need rebuilding again, and well the fuel is never an issue for me, nothing else makes me as happy per litre.

Looking forward to 2009.

[FDAsh]

I\'ve just read that over and £10k? I must be mad. Could have put a deposit on another house/apartment for that!

[grinder]
