Default expensive month

this months car repair bill has just doubled

i was initially looking like £200 for clutch fitment. plenty affordable.

but now i've had an irreparable puncture. right on the edge of a rear tyre, around 4-5mm tread left.

got to buy 2 rear tyres coming in at around £185 fitted.

i'll be keeping the other tyre as an emergency one incase another nail takes it's fancy to the sidewall.

along with ownership costs, thats up in the 1k+ area this month just to own the car without fuel costs! just aswell the sun is out, the roof has been down and roads are dry - a much needed drive and lots of and to made it all worth while!

A brand new one would cost you a bag a month in depreciation; all things are relative!
