So approx total this year : £12,000
But, i wanted to get in the Top 100 this year, get a mag feature. Also without the car i wouldt have met some great people, Steve W, Fear, Fad, Ed, JR, Matt H, Foxy, Iaz, etc. Its been such a good year going to all the shows and going out partying with all the CS lot 
Hello to every1 who ive met this year 
Is that on a loan? I dont know how you people can justify spending this kind of money on a Corsa!!! You could have had a decent car for that!!!

Nice way to WASTE a lot of money 
may be a waste in your eyes but i have worked hard for my money. It is my hobby and i enjoy doing it. Would have spent twice as much if i hadnt done 90% of the work myself. I have learned alot doing it aswell.
