phil, how do you actually afford to spend so much on your car.
esp considering you're a student?

i work full time and i can just scrape enough for new tyres, mot and tax this month... :cry:

Duno cleaver money management i guess, and a talent for ebay ;).

Once ive completed this months tasks the car is offically finished!

Yeah I've not long started selling a few bits and peices on eBay, and I can see how it is possible to make quite a bit of cash by knowing what to buy and sell on there. There are often news stories on people who give up their "real-world" jobs and make a living purely by trading on eBay, making upwards of £20,000 pa!

I'm the same as theclient, can't afford much over the basic maintenance, but part of that is poor money management :lol:

You wanna give lessons Phill? :lol:
