just woundering if im the only nuff nuff out there whos spends way too
much money on there minis.???
my work mates think im crazzy as i spend on a fourghtnightly basis around $500 on my car.
This has slowed down a little as im saving for a wedding now.bugger.... witch means i cant spend up crazzy anymore.
surely this is still considered a cheap hobby????what do you all think.

$500 a fortnight!? Is that an average over the past few months or something, say after some big purchases? Or is it like pretty much "I spend $500 on my car a fortnight"?

If it's the latter, then that's a lot of money to be throwing at the Mini, IMO.

no amount is too much if you can afford to spend it.. if it means your kids are going without food then its too much, but if your single, and not in debt, and you enjoy your car, then why the hell not..
it would be way too much a week for me.. i can only wish for those days back..
getting better when you can help your kids spend their money on carparts..

BUT... its all been fun... and i'll continue to spend many more thousands to keep having fun and, well, its just something to do.

If I go on a weekly average of how much ive spent since I got mine..

Ive spent just under $1000 a week lol (that doesnt include purchase price)

ive only had it for a month

Spend whatever you can afford!

At least you're not spending the money on drugs etc..

Spend while you're single cause when you get married, mortgage and kids the whole dollar aspect changes!

yeah this is what i tell them all at my work....at least im not spending it on drugs and crap.
have slowed down lately as im getting marrid in march next year so ive started to
save for this.
im still avereging $500 a fourghtnight but once a month i spend nothing as i have to pay
blody rent

also having a hot rod from cruising hot rod in the city.gee they have some nice cars.

If thats your thang....then do it son!!

Have a look around you, there are people out there spending dollars hand over fist on boats, golf, tiddlywinks, chess and pizza.

You only live once....

Minis are addictive...

but they don't have terrible side effects like smokes (although a lot of Minis do smoke excessively)

Move on...enjoy your Minis....enjoy your life....
