Who Has The Biggest Balls?

[DR SCHNITZEL]

Heres a question who is on the lowest salary and manages to afford to run the rx with no help from mummy and daddy?
 
are u all insane?>

[DR SCHNITZEL]

I mean its going to cost a ton a week once its insured isnt it? 5 k a year al least?

[SiH]

What? Most people on here are grown ups and don\'t get their parents to run their cars.

and 5k run run a car? Are you on crack? £100 a week?

[gandyRX]

5k to run? ive got an fd and my other halfs got a skyline and between us it dosent even cost 4k for the both of them for the lot for the year inc insurance

[probedb]

What does this have to do with balls anyways?

I\'ll be lucky if I fill up with petrol more than ince a month and that\'s £70 a time....nowhere near £5K/year to run these things.

[CharlieP]

haha...well I reckon all in my rex does cost me £100 per week!
 
But that\'s for mot, tax, fuel, servicing etc......I guess at least 60% is fuel cost as I do a few miles.....cant stop driving it! haha

[Ada7]

Well my rex costs me £200 a month just sat outside doing nothing. Then add in fuel and servicing bits then i know it gets a lot more.
I work for the NHS so hardly on a large salary :rollin

I work for the NHS aswell

it prob costs me about £600 a year to run the rex !!

[ace-rx7]

ive got an fd and my other halfs got a skyline

Ditto
 
£1k for both insured fully comp (mirror no claims, her policy :Thumbsup!)
Hers is a daily driver 30 miles a day to be a hotel recieption, and i still use the same amount of fuel as her only on the weekends :spank
 
5k to run a car a year is not that much !

[Ada7]

I work for the NHS aswell

it prob costs me about £600 a year to run the rex !!

Mine is a lot more as got a loan to pay off that i bought the car with. If i didn\'t have that then it would only be the insurance to pay a month before i used it. looking forward to that 4 1/2 years to go

[Hi RX7]

Well, so far mine has cost me in excess of £5K in less than 5 months but that does include an engine re-build and suspension/polybush mods and even on my salary RX7 ownership gives me a kick in the fork that makes my eyes water on several occasions, still once its sorted I guess insurance and fuel will run to £3K plus a year. Only advantage is the road tax renewal this month at £120 a year but that will go tits up when I eventually do the LS3 transplant.

[jackaleks]

i\'m budgeting about 5k once i get it insured...

£120 a month insurance + mot + tax. i think i might use a tank a month? won\'t know until i start driving it as i only intend to do about 5000 miles a year (or less). my salary isn\'t great but it isn\'t bad, below the London average.

the only \'help\' i get is being allowed to live at home for a bit of rent!

[karl_tate]

i think it all depends weather you use it as a daily driver or not. i heard on the radio the other day that the RAC reckon it cost motorist on average 6K a year to run a car.

when i had my rex on the road it was costing my around £200 a month for it to just sit on the drive like you adam. and a tank a petrol a month, i would use a tank at the weekend easy

i suppose it all depends on how old you are in comparison to how much its going to cost you.

[grinder]

hummm quick calcs for mine

Mot - £25
Tax - £120
Insurance - £220

so thats £365 before it turns a wheel

then i do about 700-800 miles a year - so thats 4 tanks for juice @ £50 a pop - so thats £200 ish

so yeah about £550 a year based on nothing breaking on it

[Jono FD3]

Grinder, where the hell do you get your MOT\'s done mate?? they are aproaching £50 down here now!! I know the tax........ you jammy git!! 185 for me on that & insurance is 450.
£685.00 Plus fuel & general broken bits!!! engine this year

But I can garantee that if we are working on work salary..... I would win this competition
