Basicly we all spend too much!

Im starting to get worried now as i think my addiction has become unstable, i was up a 5am this morning changing my rear disks! Anybody else this stupid?

[SimonJ]

we spend a lot because the cars are quite old, but definately worth it. I'd much rather spend it on my golf than what some guys I know frm college do, like putting lexus lights on a corsa or spending 5k on a 1 litre nova, u know one of those sh1te ones u see that have got filler and primer all over it

[Haribo!]

i hate those types, another typical old corsa mod is one of those silly exhuasts that look like a jumbo baked bean tin that looks fine on a nice big fcuk off beast car but not a 1 and a half tonne fricking corsa that cant hit 60 in any less than 20 seconds! grr, fun to leave in my dust at the traffic lighs tho

[takethefifth]

Must admit i don't understand the whole 'get a little one litre car and do it up to the hilt' thing...  Someone told me it was to keep the insurance low but surely you could spend the money from the bodykit and wheels for the insurance on a better car anyway!!
