12 years of TVRs with £25k in upgrades/repairs, then an F Type V8 since Jan 22, no upgrades in that time until now…………..mod-stock exhaust tweak, Viezu pulley and re-map, Eibach wheel spacers all in the last month……….looks like the spending madness has started again!

I owned my 200SX for a dozen years and only sold that because I had made it too 'stupid' for daily use.
I've had the F-Type since March 2020 and unless some disaster befalls me or it becomes economically ruinous to keep it, I have no plans to let it go. The car was bought for a specific purpose and the memories attached to that are extremely precious to myself, so the sentimental value in the car is enormous.

Coming up to 5 years and on my third f-type. First one was an impulse buy of the 4 cyl from brand new and changed it 2 1/2 years later for a 380bhp manual and now on the same again but auto. Don't see me changing for a while unless for a SVR
3.0 V6S MY17
Purchased pre-registered with 6 miles on the clock so second owner. Now 47k miles and 7 years old in May. (Service and MOT due July because of COVID in 2020).
I've never kept a car longer than 2 or 3 years previously in 29 years of driving but don't know what to replace it with! Other than another F-Type of course.

11 years next month - had to buy its first new battery this week, so disappointing

Folks on the i-Pace forum have to replace their 12V batteries after 3 years! Seems EVs aren't very kind to how they use them. So getting through batteries 3 or 4 times faster isn't exactly the sustainable future EVs are supposed to be promising. My battery is coming up to 7 so far with no sign of wearing out yet, and the fuel tank hasn't lost any capacity, either!daytona650 wrote: ↑Wed Feb 28, 2024 8:27 am 11 years next month - had to buy its first new battery this week, so disappointing

Had my V6 for 6 years and current car for 32 months already.
Interesting video from Harry Metcalf, on the gamble when buying secondhand EV's.
