How much did it really cost?

Come on don't be shy, what have you done and by how much did you reduce the cost :lol: when telling SWMBO the price after she noticed and refused to believe you when you said 'that, that's always been like that' :whistle:

150 for the xpower ....
" it was free on that other car a right bargain"

so far spent about £4k on HGF and engine mods...
about £2k on suspension and brake mods...
about £400 on intuction and exhaust mods...

my wife is fully aware as its her car...

have spent considerably more on running and maintaing the Lotus Excel...!

Ebay prices are never quoted with delivery, sometimes VAT is missing as well.

Well the bit its replacing is going to sell for x amount so that like getting it half price......

One of the many joys of being single

Although I have told my son my new alloys will be 100 less than they actually are, in order to reduce the cost of the flippin watch that is on order for his birthday :whistle:

I have to admit that I have always told Anne the full price on things. I'm such a bad liar that I would get found out anyway. :slapme:

Haha this is a great question, my other half doesnt know i own my TF, i told her its borrowed from work, i just bring a different car home every so often to keep up the illusion! lol.....never mind the new wheels, the HID kit, the Alpine Radio and under seat subwoofer! well it works both ways she has a clothes rail full of clothes that seem to reproduce with each other and i dont ask any questions....ignorance is bliss! ha

:bust: If that's true it tops any little white lie I've ever told - I have used the same story line, just for smaller items :whistle:

haha it really is true, i run a garage so ive always got different cars around....but the TF will never be sold, TFs are worth nothing in the motor trade so id rather keep it.....but shhhhhh dont tell the misses! ha
