Thanks for all the info Scott,

I knew the cost would be a killer plus maintaining it etc and also had a rough idea of the sort of costs involved. but its good to know from an owner anyway.

Ive already had a look at insurance and those sort of costs and to be honest prices wernt to bad and not a great deal different to my ST, still a four figure sum of dosh but only just, got quotes just over a grand.

ive already got an empty garage to keep it in which is esential!!!! and my garage is at the right at the back, in front of that there is another 2 cars in a car port with another garage door in front of that with another 2 cars parked in front of that lol so someone would need to nick 5 cars to get to it lol.

at the moment im only considering one, but not as an everyday car, it will be used along side my ST or a cheaper run around focus/fiesta (havent made any decisions yet) so i wont be putting much mileage on at all (hence looking at a low mileage one)

in your opinion scott would you go for one with out all of those engine mods and stick to basics. go for a standard one??
