well no this isn't part of the Hobbit (though to be fair that's also well worth catching at the picture house!), this is the unexpected journey of my money leaving my wallet to go on the XF. Well I guess I shouldn't be too upset 12 spark plugs (that's bloody expensive right from the start), oil (no comment), 2 front tyres, labour, re-fit rear box (the noisy one ended up being just a little too much for UK journeys) on top of a service (no it wasn't 'due' but I figured I may as well get it all sorted) and a few odds n sods....

drum roll please....

£800ish <eeeek>

oh well at least I know it's all good for the foreseeable future if I keep it and I can sell on with a clear conscience if I don't

 

£800ish sound about right, I feel your pain lol

 

what's the phrase? "if it's got legs or wheels it'll cost ya!"

 

Also add to that "eats or drinks" !

 

Add to that: "looks gorgeous" - and then it'll REALLY cost ya!
