How much have you spent in 2005?

[Iain]

I stole this idea off my local cruise forums, but it would be interesting to see how much everybody has spent on their Novas (or other cars) in 2005?

I recon I've spent around ?500 on modifications, around ?800 on insurance/tax etc, a good ?1000+ on petrol and a few hundred in mechanics bills. It's kinda scary when you tot it all up :?

I'm also in the process of restoring a mark 1 Fiesta XR2, and then I have also spent a few ?? on tuning goodies on my 306!!! No wonder I never have any money to go out! :roll:

[Riggy]

im not even goin to dream of adding it up :lol:

[Rick Draper]

ROFLMFMO not even thinking about what i have spent. The last time my car was in the light of day was over a year ago and the whole lot has been stripped down since then and a new engine speced and built. Then the engine was pulled to bits again and rebuilt and is still not back with me. Would have been cheaper to buy and build a mint 500bhp Escort Cosworth.

tits and turbos always cost money so my mates dad says

[NovalutionGSi]

well considering somewhere (over the rainbow...errr) in my accounts i'm ment have around ?17K....... :o

but on the nova.... well a big chunk is the full rebuild just happening this week... ?512 there plus bits and bobs, might take it up to about ?600. over the rest of the year maybe totals up to about ?3000 inc fuel, tax and insurance.

tyres were the things i got though the most, tracking was miles out! :oops:

[wisewood]

on my car... nothing. in general, about 40k :lol:
