I know it's an ex works car but with a lot of Motorsport stuff it could be anything Tim.

Yep, I was watching vid of a guy who’d bought an ex-works Escort Cossie, it’d spent years rallying on the continent but no one had bothered to research it properly. He put some effort into it after he’d got it and found out it was Delecour’s car that finished 2nd on the Monte

Era- diction

That really is a quality job, I assume they just measured the van and ordered online from a company in China or somewhere that doesn't have a proof reader.

Years ago I worked for a company, I was in the purchasing managers office as they were delivering 10,000 A4 gatefold brochures, full colour, heavy paper , he opened a box, "ah yes they look great"

He left the room to show the MD so I had a read

Came back with a big smile on his face, MD was happy

5 minutes later MD wasn't happy when I pointed out that wasn't their phone number, they'd transposed two numbers so they gave it a ring , it was a chip shop

That's exaggerated because of the tyres though. Will be a lot less by the time you need another service and tyres

Yes, to be fair a chunk of that are one-off and “**** happens” items - £800 for a grill because a cat decided it wanted to be a hood ornament. £1006 on tyres. £200 on a battery.

Next year it’s due a service, camcover gaskets and front brakes.

So your bad place is £0.47 per mile. It's only likely to get better. And the SPG (*) remains the same or increases

£200 on a battery?

£200 on a battery?

Not so bad if someone else fitted it. Even Halfords charge £20ish quid now
