Do you keep a track of your A2 spending?!

[justin-20V]

The beauty of A2's now is that they are unlikely to loose any more value, so if you look after them you can pretty much 'cash' them in at any time. I bought mine cheap needing work, it has probably cost me £2000 or so (I say that very quietly...), but just sailed through its MOT today, so for each month going forward I can divide that cost up and it will soon be much less than a new car on finance. And a proper little classic too...
