AndyW Posted February 11, 2007 Report Share Posted February 11, 2007 In the last year? Less than £20 on an stubby aerial from Dale. In the last two years, less than £500 which was my VW satnav headunit, Dension iPod kit and Cambridge lights.About the only thing I'll ever spend money in the future will be a leather re-trim and getting the little dent out of one of the rear quarter panels, and maybe some coilovers, maybe.
