Wowza.
And there's me having DERV V8 envy
. In a year I've replaced 4 tyres the day I bought it (17" 55 profile balloon things) so not bank-breaking. 4 wheel alignment (no adjustment needed) £40 as opposed to £80. Replaced the battery as a preventative measure, £124 Bosch S5 from ECP's a splash of dot 4, and two oil services at £40 ish each time. Plus 17k miles worth of fuel
