Who Has The Biggest Balls?

[FEED Addict]

worked mine out this morning, with repayments £3,000 per year, Insurance £700 per year, Tax £100ish for 6 months, Fuel £1,000 (3,000miles) service/mot £250. that\'s about £100 a week plus all the parts I have added this year approx £2,500! works out at £145 a week:eek
and the last 2 months been surviving on one wage plus statory sick pay for the misses!!

As I work in sales my wages yoyo especially in this climate.
The total bill for me is going to be well over 10k this year. Plus another 4 k to get it where I want next year. O well least if brought a house I would be even more annoyed LOL
And iv only driven it for 6 months.

Tax is due soon at £180

Ouch, you poor thing. My TR6 costs me that, not the Rex tho, as would be the case with a lot of members IMHO.
Insurance £350, and you can get MOTs for £30 in MK with free 10 day retest, although the Rex always goes to sicknote.
Everything\'s relative. When I was earning (haven\'t worked in over 400 days, finally got off my bum and have an interview tomorrow - wish me luck!) then I was spending, and two crashes at the Ring two years running did add up. I think in the 5 years I\'ve had that car I\'ve probably spent £22k on it including the original purchase price of £10k. And that doesn\'t including ANY consumables, no fuel, insurance, tax, rubber, etc....

How come you pay tax on a 1973 car?  I thought that would of been tax exempt?

Just to add my 2p to this thread.  Personally I think it\'s not really about balls as you put it, it\'s more a case of if you want something bad enough then you\'ll find a way.  In this case, how badly do you want an rx7, to the extent of sacrafising what other things.

For me it\'s gotten harder to run a track/project/weekend car as i\'ve got older, infact if it wasnt one of my business\'s I doubt i\'d even own one.  Not for reasons of money but more purely of time and priorities.  When I was in my early 20\'s it was no problem, all my money went pointless things, such as bodykits, boost controllers, exhausts etc.  I\'d only need a two seater car as the only thing that would frequent the passenger seat was some random slag from week to week.

It\'s a decade or so later, im married, got a one year old son, two business\'s and f*ck all time to take a p1ss in piece let alone go for a spin in a sports car.

Having said that, after all the grief i\'ve taken off the missus etc for it, I still own an RX7.................... Now thats balls!!

I earn sh1tloads a year, but I do have very big balls. Totally irrelevant to the real topic of this thread, but I just thought I\'d share that with you :rollin:rollin

I was originally looking for a TR6 as old as me, 1972 vintage. But the one I fell for was registered in May 1973, and only cars registered before the end of January 1973 get tax free status.
