Over the last 10 months we have spent just under 10% of our income on keeping the syncro on the road.......Am i Mad ?

(3 kids 1 mortgage, 1.33 wages)

Anywhere else, yes. On here, no.

You are amongst friends and can talk candidly about your problems.

Go ahead, Matthew.

mmmmm

I guess its like that scene from Trainspotting ( the film not the hobby clive)...

All around is desparation, but as soon as Renton gets a hit, hes off in the clouds

The grin factor is THAT huge, even if just driving to the shops

best not try a scooby'd van, or I'd be re mortgaging, stealing my grannys rings etc (tho i'd have to dig her up !)

in the last 6 months I too have spent 10% of my salary on crack vancaine 1 salary, 1 mortgage, 2 kids! If this goes on any longer I'll have to start rationing the kiddies dinners, "Just the one helping of gruel there Gerry!"

You're all small time .......mere alcoholics!!!!!

In past 3 months; I've bought the sync
Spent same again on bits, wheels,tyres,exhaust etc..etc
Then there's road tax & insurance.

If I can keep this rate up for a year I will have spent a frightening 150% of our (wife & two little ones) annual income!!!!!!!!

Beat that you light-weights

(p.s. Hope mrs doesn't read this post.)

I'm not even going to start on this one. Being out of commission for 6 months kinda helps.
