Default Does it ever stop....
Just sitting here thinking about things and realised that in the last month I have had:

4 Tyres
Tax - £460
MOT
Service and cam belt
Trackstar annual premium for the tracker - £147
and insurance end of november

That will be the best part of £2500 at the end of it all

I wouldnt mind if I looked at the car and something had changed, or the power has increased, but this lot is to just keep it on the road.

Do like the look of the new fiat panda

Blimey Steve, that is a lot to have to shell out for in one month!

I've been quite frugle lately, its had a MOT and thats about it since before the Ring trip! But i know the list is growing, needs 4 tyres soon and really need to upgrade brakes before going back to Germany in May. I've got another splitter and another set of fog lamp covers in the garage i need to get round to prepping, then get painted and on the car. And still on the lookout for a genuine STI spoiler to replace this replica.

I've got a tracker on mine too, monthly direct debit seems to go up every year. Not sure if my insurance requires it or not anymore as part of the policy, might have to ask Moley.
