Author Topic: Update on the Chav'scort, Now including redneck automotive tips to keep it on the road (Read 6212 times)

Well. I've had the Chav'scort now for 16 full days.

In that time I've travelled 2,310 Miles in her = 145 miles a day.

On monday I put £41 in her which got 430 = 9.5p per mile.

So.

I've done approx 2,050 (work) miles in her = £820 in "Own car" expenses.

2,050 miles would've cost me £192.

£820 - £192 = £628.

Cost of Chav'scort = £400.

£628 - 400 = £228.

Insurance cost £296.

£228 - £296 = - £68.

Basically. When I drive to Southampton again on Tuesday the Chav'scort would've paid for herself and her insurance within 3 weeks.

Damn. Should've done this earlier.

Now all funds raised from the Chav'scort will go into the Cadillac / Camaro Funds. (although my mileage isn't likely to be that high again for sometime . . . . )

Reminds me of the time when an elderly friend took his Metro to the garage because of a rattling in/near the hatch.

It's a radio problem Sir !
But I don't listern to the radio ?

Well turn the radio on and you won't hear it

Mind you, wiping off the headlights last night made a major difference.

(It's the closest I'll get to cleaning it for a while . . . . )
