I do hope your not looking for sympathy....

 

[shaggy]

Not me m8, the last owner. All that money and I still can't save it. very sad indeed. But on the bright side more shiny parts for me

 

[Pid_16V]

Yea, it really dose make you wonder where all that money goes some times.

And that is a perfect illustration of how this club works, without getting stuck in, attending meets, making friends, going to swapmeets where we pull each others cars apart, I have no doubt my wallet would have been reamed for a similar sum
You get out what you put in, this is more than just a forum.

That's a lot of money to spend on a car especially when it carnt be saved

 

[Pid_16V]

[kittylover]

wow, you can see why so many go to the scrappy.
I reckon I spent 1800 on mine since I got it - which is what I paid for it 2 years ago.

You just know what's going to happen now...

 

[WildV6]

That is a lot of money to spend on a coug or any car, bu I have been through mine and found that I have spent £3800 since buying the car 5 years ago. I know I'll never get that money back, but I never intend on selling it.

 

[Procomm]

I am well over £8K without the cost of the car

 

[Lucid]

Let's not have this conversation.

 

[Everton]

It's cheaper to buy a cat with all the mods already done

 

[shaggy]

I'm already more than the c1 purchase price. In just 3 weeks.

 

[frosty2.0]

I've been there in the past spending a small fortune on a car in fact several times over the years...

And quite possibly why I've not spent much on my Cat,

Bought Dec last year for £750 with 39k since then i've replaced rear brakes & catalyst for about £150 inc fitting, coil pack, plugs & leads at about £40-50 and a couple of tyres at £150-160 inc fitting, by my standards and past cars this is nothing "fingers crossed" then it stays healthy !! which I'm pretty sure it will

Yeah sure i'd like to do stuff, but i think perhaps it might be worth more in time if its left pretty standard, guess we'll see

 

[Pid_16V]

I have absolutely no idea and i don't care anymore.....

 

[Lucid]

Sheeeeeet, we stuck £800 in my Coug over the weekend.

Imagine if I'd had to pay for the labour!!
