Tally up all the reciepts youve got for mods and parts for the vehicle you currently have, excluding the buying of it and petrol, but include services ect ect... once u come to a figure post it up and tell us what car you would go for to the value of the reciept!..

LOL its just for a laugh if anyones bored... get it totted up..lol.

[Steve coupe]

Can I be sad and say I even have pretty much every fuel receipt for mine lol somewhere

[Brian Stirrup]

I aint that sad..... lmao

I have kept as much as I can over the years but I am sure the figure would be higher with other costs I did not get a reciept for like RR set ups, some ebay purchases or private purchase's like my new £400 turbo. I recon I must be up near £20k of reciepts but probably can add another £5k to that.

[vxlaney]

my gte totals more then £22k thats without insurance etc! my mk4 gsi owes me over £12k now! bloody cars. could have bought a porsche with the money i have spent over the years, but i would still rather have the 2 cars as they are much more fun, and the gte pisses over pretty much most of the porsches anyway, lol

[Kev_G]

you really must get bored Couped

[Astraliam]

less than £1000 in two half years on my gte as money has been tight for few years thats mostly on maintainance tyres alternator battery ect

[smurf_9t1]

£0 in 8 months as ive not got a car butt on my last corsa it was £861.93 (with help fom a calculator)

....and theres no reason for this to stay in the Scottish Region forum...

in the last 5 years about £500.00 on my cally, mainly 1 oil & filter change, air filter, timing belt, rollers, starter motor, two new front discs and pads, two new front tyres, and about £50 on secondhand door locks and steering lock when it got broken into to be driven away. So overall, pretty good value for money, no regular service as I don't drive more than 2to 3K miles per year so service onec in a blue moon, I am one who does not belive in wasting money when it is not really really required against all arguments oils don't loose their properties in a year as it is just a myth, oil is not fresh food and does not have a sell by or consume by date. People actuallu use oil to preserve metals against rust for many amny years!

I still need to change the spark plugs that i bought but never got around changing them, and on my engine they must now be over 9 years old , car's done 10100 miles now! Recently passd the emissions very well, and I have never cleaned my idel speed control valve and only ever once did I change the rocker cover gasket as the old one became hard and started to leak oil.

OK, so add a few hundred more pounds, still a good value for money.

About £0 with this car.

[Melv]

The Golf company car I inherited in February and gave back at the end of last month had receipts in the arm rest for all the fuel I put in. Approx £1,200 lol It also had 4 new 16" Dunlops and a service

I've no receipts from the Corsa as it's all 2nd hand parts mostly

[rickisgrate]

i'd be here for months trying to tally up all my receipts for the astra, it gets a suspension rebuild every 6 months or so, serviced every 3 months plus a lot on modified parts. And the car also came with a mega service history by the 1 previous owner, receipts for everything she bought like bulbs, tyres etc

Scottish and like it to stay that way coo.

[Benn]

6+ years i've owned my car, i have never once even thought about what i send. If i want/need it i buy it. Lets says 10+ easy.

[daddy cav]

Yes , there are other forums to this site rather than the scottish part lmao

[couped]

Just thought this would be a laugh and seems theres some mixed reactions..lol.. anyhow on average i spend £45-50 on extra trinkets weekly and if theres something i need then as above i just get it when needed, my previous focus tddi owes me around 18k, escort 8k and a focus rs inbetween haha, on looking at it i would have enough for three skyline gtrs. Never thought would be as much but there u go!


Had to add not the newer gtr!

Thread moved to the correct section. There is more to this club than Scotland!

lmao

You really don't have a clue do you.

[Kev_G]

ive possibly spent 5k+ on mine no idea how lmao got all receipts tho

[MSG]

lmao

You really don't have a clue do you.

Totally agreed that I am a culprit, and I tend to follow the mileage rule rather than the time between service, but unlike in the past when I might have taken over 3 to 4 years to cover 9000miles and then I did the oil change, but now I plan to do it within 2 years, irrespective of the 9000 mile rule, it is still some improvement on my part.

Of course if I had a more expensive car or if I had spent thousands on my engine then i would look after it better by giving it more regular oil changes.

[specks]

no idea,not getting the receipts out,it makes me cry lol,and the cav is still a piece of **** no matter how much i have spent on it.

Just for fun.. if I phone up the DVLA tomorrow and there isn't a request for a change of owner in progress on that Astra I'm declaring it scrapped.

In an interesting twist to your question, I have notes of all the prices I got for items when breaking the GTE. I shall not be adding them up any time soon.
