Nothing at the moment mate, just treating her to a nice warm carpeted garage to sit in....

As for how much I've spent Carl, my current '6' owes me around £60,000 including buying it...Yes

I probably would have kept the first one mate if it hadn't been totalled by someone crashing into the rear end of it after I had owned it for only 9 months....Sad

how can it cost 60k! surely 10k buys you a high boost conversion, and a full set of suspension mods.

Is that 60k including insurance, tax and a fuel guess based on the miles you've done?

    I'd say my Rallye high boost would be owe me 15k although that's Inc few engines an going low boost first and going through various suspension set ups various brake set ups, changing seats and belts 3 times lol and a load of expensive parts and buying the car not bad I think!

    I thought that would raise a few eyebrows....LOL

    It wouldn't have cost that much if I had gone straight for the engine setup I have now, but I went through the supercharger stages, starting off with low boost then high boost and now super high boost, so each conversion obviously adds up the cost.

    As well as that, I've had loads of paintwork done over the years, wheels, suspension, brake upgrades, onboard camera fitted, personalised plate, different headlights, exhaust systems etc

    It is surprising how much you can spend, it adds up pretty quick!

    Believe it or not, never had a problem with any charged engines, it was the original engine in the car when it was running N/A that went bang. Sad
