Strange, I'd have thought a 156 GTA is a really cheap car to run laugh

I'm VERY proud of my two daughters who are progressing well in high school, being taught in foreign languages their parents failed to master.

Aside from the fuel (I'm getting 16mpg driving) - they go through tyres and need a bit of preventitive maintanence (330mm brakes, Q2 or Quaiffe diff and regular cambelt changes).

Mine has a bill for an engine rebuild and is going in on the weekend for the headgasket to be looked at. Plus I needed to sort the bodywork out (rust etc).

Worth every penny though as I fking love it.

Became a dad for the first time. I now have the most amazing six-month old son and I literally cannot stop beaming whenever I look at him or think about him.

"Proud" isn't the word actually, "humbled" is probably more accurate.

Left a temporary job earning OK money to a job paying a little more, but permanent. 6 months later said they were happy with how I'd settled in and how hard I work and gave me a 6k pay rise!

Bought the car that I wanted, and although expensive so far, now needs nothing other than cosmetic things and to use all of it's fuel.

Proposed to my gorgeous, intelligent, honest, hard working fianceé! bowtie

Went to Autosport show in January, big tick off of the list.
Saw Lee Evans before he retired.
Met my gorgeous Niece.

Loads more, but couldn't have a proper holiday cause car frown
