I'm going to regret doing this...

1996 Honda Prelude 2.2 VTEC, owned car for 1 year

Car: £1750
Insurance: £1140 (1000 first 10 months, 700 for following 10 months, so i'll take it pro-rata ;))

Tyres: £150
Bodykit/leather/air con: £465 (bought complete car with knackered engine)
MOT: £35

Got tax/MOT due @ end of month, so that's another £210, that'll be counted in next year's running costs ;)
