you got me curious now, go on spill the beans lol
It is far, far too embarrassing to be disclosed.
Lets just say it was at least 4 times the price of what a lot of folks consider OTT for an 18YO car in almost showroom condition. We are talking STUPID money and I was a damnable fool.

No matter how much you payed,it will never out weigh the money you put back into it.

yea i suppose so, all cars are a headache regardless to what youve got
Too much. 9.5 for my tratter, but I was youngerer, smitten and have always been crap with money 
She has all of the P38 foibles and issues, but I love its road presence and style. So far it has run well. Fingers crossed it will stay that way.

Yep, or Fender, or Deafener, or Money Pit, or Mistake, or the only car I've ever had that makes me smile every single time I drives it. Take your pick.
€1,200 for my 200Tdi Discovery 1 from 1992 (it was 20yrs old when I bought it ) with a burnt out wiring loom under the dash and more rot than a 1980s Escort, comfortably spent 10X what I paid for it in parts and consumables over the 6yrs that I've owned it and ain't really finished upgrading and customizing it yet.

still more work to do eh?
I bought my Land Rover as a hobby not a mode of transport, it's never going to be finished, locking diffs, full external roll cages, 35" tyres, spot lights, side lighting, rear working lamps, Webasto diesel heater, etc, etc, etc.......................
What about your plans for your motor?
