Don't know why I am picking your quote, I just am. You say "about £25", how many miles do you do? Then, how much extra are you paying in tax and insurance? What about servicing and consumables?

I don't know you and so you could be a millionaire. But that basic £25/week means £1300/year which is more than a lot of people on this website take home in a month.

I'm sorry, I'll shut up. If the number of penniless elderly Scoobynetters reaches a large enough number to significantly increase the tax I owe once my boring old pension and investments start paying out then I'll just emmigrate. No skin off my nose. Carry on spending everyone......

 

I'm just filthy rich.....

 

Edited for accuracy

 

I'll take that

 

I dont mind as long as she washes them after!!!

 

i travel to work with my mate in his 1.1 saxo lmao !! when i get in my impreza type r it shocks me everytime its great!! plus i give him £30 a month n everyones happy accept for my mate who owns a 1.1 saxo

 

Now you can't argue with that....

 

If you love it that much then it is probably worth it. Sounds like your fuel cost is pretty low so the overall cost is probably reasonably sane.

 

i can just see blueblaster waiting for the 3 ghosts of christmas past, counting his pennies by the fire, life is about making memories, and having wild stories to tell the grandkids. i am quite happy in the knowledge that while you retire to your multiple pension payouts, lounging in your lazyboy watching snooker, i will be skint, but blasting down to the mountains for some rock climbing, looking up at climbs i cant do and remembering i actually lived my life. if the climbing/martial arts and microlights, bungee jumps, and foreign travel dont get me first.

 

If that is how you spend your cash then you have my total respect. That is the way to "live for the moment". Spending all your money on a car at the expense of everything else is not.

FWIW I am not a total misery guts. We usually manage two skiing holidays a year plus one big expedition in the summer. We also do a lot of mountain biking, gyming and golfing so life is pretty full. The key is, in my irritatingly smug opinion, to get the fundamentals sorted out as early as possible. Even the most modest, 100% secure investments will mature very nicely if you start them early in life. That leaves you a set amount of cash to spend either as you suggest or on something more frivolous like a Scoob. Unfortunately the sound financial sense that our grandparents/parents needed when credit wasn't available has been lost in the last insane decade while we were lead astray by To$$er Brown.

 

i used to run mine everyday for almost 2 years and to be honest i would rather put the not needed miles on my ****ter + i am a mechanic and do lots of work at home so i could not justify messing up the interior most days with tools etc, + now my scoob only has 2 seats and totally stripped out i mostly only use for track days + drag strip etc - but end of day everyone to there own i suppose lol
