what else chews a hole in your wallet??

as i'm a very recent member (having just acquired a black '96 VR6), forgive me if this has been posted b4, but i'm interested in what other cars do Forum members have jockeying with your 'Rado for a spot in the garage, blocking their driveway or disgruntling the neighbours for taking all the spaces in your street??

 

at the moment i have - '55 Oval VW (restoration job waiting for my payrise), '67 VW 1300 (my first car - and slow as it may be, i still can't part with the fella!), a '97 Ibiza Cupra (cheap rouand-town fun, sadly soon to be set loose now that the VR6 is the daily driver) and a recently rescued from a field near Winchester '56 Tatra 603 (how absurd is a 3L aircooled V8??)...

My Puma Racing had to go - running costs were stupidly high - even when compared to the Corrado.

 

Biggest expense is the wife

My 2005 Yamaha R1 has cost me a few quid in the last month - a new pair of tyres and an un-needed stone through the radiator yesterday equate to more than I've spent on the Corrado in the last year. Worth every penny though.

A Caddy Project with my mates!

 

 

Money and work is split 4 ways so its a good cheap laf!

jenks... dare i ask what you're gonna do to the Caddy?? :wink:

2 Roccos, a Mk1 Rieger and a Mk2 Storm, both garaged with the Rado blocking / guarding the Mk1 Rocco :lol:

 

None of the 3 used as daily cars, for that I'm fortunate enough to be able to use my legs and walk into work, thus saving loads of money on useless commuting (the idea alone: To have to pay money in order to be able to earn money :-( ), which is spent on the 3 cars :-)

The Syncro is easily the most expensive car I have had just with the fuel it gets through. Off the road following the discovery of the front tyres being nearly thought to the cords due to ripped to shreds rear wishbone bushes on both sides. I won't start the poly or std debate again. :mrgreen:

 

Also done 320 quid on aircon parts in the last 3 weeks to no avail.

 

A wife that doesn't work, 2 daughters and emigrating to Adelaide finish off any chance I have of buying myself anything.......ever.

 

One day my number/s will be up :roll:

My old 350LC is keeping my without money at the minute (see link on sig).

I've not started on my Triumph Spitfire which the floor fell out of about 4 years ago. That's still blocking my dad's garage.

My 16v didn't really cost me much money in maintenance, just regular things like brake pads etc, but I've a feeling the VR is going to be rather costly especially as we're planning to have the head rebuilt and stuff soon :roll:
