The car cost me £2,000, although I had to go to Aberdeen to get it.
I've spent probably twice that in maintenance since, and will spend the same again on engine/turbo/exhaust/tune this year.
Ultimately it will be a large estate car with heated seats, great stereo etc, that has a rock solid and reliable 350bhp/500 foot pounds of torque, and can get Hippy and myself to a cycling holiday in Trieste in comfort at pace.
If I can sort the brakes out!
I'll try a couple of "big" stops tomorrow and see what happens.
