Hi ya Dan, I'd just got it back from Dom's.

The traffic warning on my sat nav told me there was traffic on the M6 so took me towards Cov, then the traffic cleared & it told me to go right in to the square & back past 'Power' again.

There's the odd bit of double parking up there, isn't there ?

It doesn't look all that good does it.

If you ignore the "upgrades", because there's a panel & paint job there that was paid mostly by insurance, I think £4700 plus insurance plus fuel is probably a bit more accurate.

That said, the Ohlins are in the "upgrades" bit, and at the end of the day, the car needed shocks of some description.

Putting the insurance job aside, you could make a case for it costing over £6k a year.

I can think of four repairs last year that came to over £8k (Head gaskets etc, Clutch, 12k service, Ohlins).

Now, stop depressing me laugh

It needed a good clean.

I had it valeted on Friday followed by a sight seeing weekend in London, and it's now covered in dust.

It looks like I've been to Saudi Arabia in it

That metallic Cosmos colour is weird. I know cars don't look the same when dirty, but that colour completely changes appearance when clean.
