 Yes me thinks its rebuild time soon. To be fair though, since plum had plum Ive been buying `normal` cars and when you look what I must have lost on depreciation on those its scarry. Probably lost 5k on the newbie in the nearly two years ive had it.

I'm not even going to try and add up what we've spent on Twinkle since we bought her in October! She's not on the road yet either!
I don't care though cos I love her to bits!!
