I can see that most people have put a fair amount of money into their saxos.

[jaybiss]

ryans daily driver is a vtr

his other car will be awesome when its finished...

[CampDavid]

Fuck Loads

[Luke]

Go on David, I'd love to know how much..

Are you still selling btw?

[OLLYVTS]

[Bake]

[CampDavid]

Are you still selling btw?

Actually, not as much as you'd think. I guess it stands me at about 7k, buying trade etc.

I may be selling. It has no MOT at the moment, doesn't start and the alarms fucked. Otherwise mint :)

Think I'll sort it out again as a fairly normal looking VTS and tool around in it for another few months.

[CampDavid]

That said, £650 for fucking dampers...

[Luke]

Not as much as I was expecting to be honest, but how much did you spend trying to fix the thing whilst in Germany? LOL.

[CampDavid]

Not as much as I was expecting to be honest, but how much did you spend trying to fix the thing whilst in Germany? LOL.

I haven't included that. And I don't want to think about it

I bought a house this week. The Sax doesn't even come close in financial pain!!

[Luke]

Hopefully I'll have better luck when my S makes it trip over to Nurburg next year.

[CampDavid]

Hopefully I'll have better luck when my S makes it trip over to Nurburg next year.

Just take it easy, don't crash and buy good recovery insurence

My Saxo has done it's last ring trip I think. Next year it'll make way for a battered M3 or a left hooker Porsche 968 CS fur die biug schkiden

That said, there's something glorious about being quick in a VTS

too much. when i bought it i had so many problems.
since ive had it, its had new exhaust, head gasket, water pump, radiator, radiator hoses, alternator, cam belt, clutch, driveshaft, a few services, and a new engine. Plus when someone broke in i had to buy a new window and tint it again.
so all that plus labour for fitting, and what you can see modded on the car.
