Nice one! How many miles have you done in that time? Have you had to do any major maintenance?

I'll be at a measly 4 years come the middle of August, it's been 100% reliable in that time.

congrats Steve

5 years for me this year. Actually thinking about it it was July when i bought it.
Its been far from 100% reliable, but it keeps me amused lol.

So how much u reckon has been spent on it in that time Steve? Just dont compare it to the sale price of Fours these days  :'(

Good stuff mate  :)
I've had mine for just over 2 years which is the longest by far I've ever kept a car and so far my spending has been £10,500ish including buying the car  :o


Car up for sale see, Cars for sale forum.

Thanks guys n gals  ;)

I dread to think how much I have spent. Must be over 15k inc purchase price :-\.

Shes been pretty good over the years actually. I only do a couple of thousand miles a year as she is a second car. The scary thing is that she is far from finished. Be happy once I get the bonnet painted then maybe I'll add a few pics to this thread for those who aren't familiar with the old girl.
