Things not to do...

[Rusty]

1)

Find out that Thai stunner is actually a bloke

2)

Take the file of receipts for all the parts that have kept your S2 pride and joy roadworthy and a bit bling and add them all up. Then remember all the bits you don't have receipts for and add them to the total...

£4500 in 2 years, not including insurance, MOT or tax. Nice work!

Not the worst on here I'm sure but the car is basically standard!

NOT even going to think about it

Scary stuff adding reciepts up

1) Never count them - i stopped that in 2003 when I'd realised i'd spent almost £10k
2) Never count them in the company of your better half

2005 = £1878.68 not inc above
2006 = £370.10 ytd not inc above (seems low this year??) !

I would estimate that in the last 12 months I have spent between £150 - £200 on car cleaning related products....
