Excluding tax, fuel, purchase and insurance...how much have you spent on your car since you have owned it?

Off the top of my head:

Ive had the car a month or so, only money ive spent is a tenner for an itrip and a tenner for a wheeltrim. Not bad. Things are going to go soon, need 4 new tyres, brakes are about to go.

technically did pay 100 quid to get the timing belt done, but that was included in the price of the car really.
