Calling all bloggers!

[Legend83]

Occasionally I am lucky enough to find a profile where someone has spent significant time describing all the costs they have incurred in owning their Chim/S. It is really useful to those of us thinking of biting the bullet in the near future.

I don't think there is a filter by which I can search for members with Chims/S's so to save me trawling through, how about anyone who has extensive(ish) blogs posts.........







.....NOW.

Thanks in advance.

Mine was up to date until a year ago should give you some idea. The Cerb one is fully updated

Thanks, really useful. It is hard to guage what to really expect until you see for real. People can make estimates on threads etc, but actual bills are the truth!

To be honest, I will have one regardless of the cost, one day.

WHOA! Can I buy your Chim? Sounds like you have spent a fortune on it!

Updated mine.

Mines fully up to date.

BTW are you looking to buy now? The new owner of my Chim (purchased only 3 weeks ago) is selling again as having come from a cerb he's not being excited by the performance. It's a bloody good car and I'd be happy to chat with you about it.

TBH - it's a little upsetting as I'd put so much time, money and effort into maintaining it, would be nice to see her go to a good home where she'll be looked after and appreciated.

Thanks to all for posting, very useful. Owning a Chim would appear to be an expensive hobby!

Zippee - I saw your car up for sale and it looks mint. I would love to get into ownership, but sadly a new motor comes below the pecking order behind wedding and house purchase at the moment. Plus, only had the '5 for a year and spent loads on it. TBH though, it would be great to hear about your car anyway, just in case I ever see it again!

But do not be fooled. I am TVR through and through. If I had had an extra £2k when I bought the '5 I would have got an S3 instead. My time will come, whatever the missus says!

I've a blog on my site but have to admit it's not been updated recently. I do however keep track of all expenses so this might be of use to you. It actually scares me when i see how much money i've spent on it!!
