^^^^ not bad really - a lot cheaper to run than a Scooby for example.
well, done 7k miles - including one track day - doesnt need new tyres yet.
get average of 24-25 mpg overall driving, which includes motorway and london - so lots of traffic driving - obviously comes down when "playing" !
has had some oil put in I have to say - first time we think it might have been due to an oversight in the factory !!! however, think it will use some between services - but not gallons enough to worry about so far !
Have now completed about 34.5 k.
Back tyres about £120 + V.A.T. every 12K
Front tyres about £140 + V.A.T. every 24K
Servicing every 12k say £200
Petrol consumption about 30 m.p.g. almost all my trips are 100 miles plus, mostly motor ways etc.
Insurancce fully comp + wife + full buisiness under £950
No real problems.
Servicing has been carried out on a Saturday to keep car on the road.
For got to say two new spot lights, broken on the motor way and a new rubber strip for front as I have to offb road on numerous occasssions.
