How much have you spend on your landy
Sheddy:
A couple of years ago I bought an Aprilia RSV-R Edwards. There was nothing I could do to it to improve it, it had the best of everything fitted as standard. It cost £13,000. I lost £6,500 when I sold it last year.
The Disco cost me £900 and I've spent around £2,500 uprating, upgrading and repairing it. I have only used it off road once so far, every other weekend (and a lot of evenings) have been spent working on it. I don't think it will ever be truly "finished" but I am looking forward to getting it very, very dirty and dented.
The point is this. The Disco has cost a lot less than the bike did and it has provided me with far more entertainment. I reckon its cheap.
Philosophy at this time of the morning .... hmmmmm.

Well on the disco which I have only had since Nov1st not including buying it £600-700 ish. The rover 620i since I bought it off my dad in 1999 well haha about £3k I think but £1100 of that was coz I went through a flood too deep and put a piston through the bottom of the engine so needed a rebuild and that isnt including insurance BUT it has passed 5 out of its 7 mot's first time and this years one failed on all the advisories from last year so it was my own lazyness it failed this year!
I will never get rid of the rover 620 as I have replaced so much now and the running gear is like a 2 year olds car kind of and it is better the devil you know!
