Kingster Posted July 27, 2016 Share Posted July 27, 2016 Here is my man-maths: Depreciation - nil Tax - £250 Insurance - £150 MOT and servicing £100 Upgrades - £4700 Total cost to not use is £5200 or £100 per week or less than 30 pints. No brainer - keep it! Fixed that for you 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andrew Posted July 27, 2016 Share Posted July 27, 2016 It looks like I use mine about once a month this year so far. March 28th.. Rockingham April 22nd Cadwell park May 27th Knockhill June 13th Croft July 1st Anglesey July 20th Snetterton Aug 21st Donington (booked) Not sure what that equates to distance wise.. but I did a quick calculation using data from my last day at Snetterton. I did about 52 laps of the 300 circuit which is about 3 miles, which makes 156miles? Burnt off about 65 to 70 litres of fuel, which is about eleven mpg. Normally one wouldn't be happy with 11mpg!

I always reset my odo before a track day. >150 miles is always my target. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andy_R Posted August 25, 2016 Share Posted August 25, 2016 Mine was purchased for two reasons. In the mid naughties I part built one but due to a career change (meaning overseas relocation) I had to sell. I really enjoyed the build process from before, but family commitments now mean I only have time to 'potter' on a car. So reason 1 is for a winter 'project' where I can potter, tinker and generally have fun making 'Roary' a better car. Reason 2 is the 'smile' that doesn't leave my face anytime I'm driving it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
