It's that time of year again....I've now had the car five years and added 16,201 miles, so it's time for the now-traditional annual analysis of costs...In the last 12 months:£6,086.59 - (previous years - £4,323, £2,112, £14,773, £3,101)1,261 miles driven - significantly less than the 4,314 of the previous year and the 4,442 of the year before that - no Scottish road trip this year after three trips north of the border in the previous two years.The bulk of this year's expenditure was a new twin-plate clutch at David Appleby Engineering. The previous clutch wasn't slipping, but the release bearing was getting a bit noisy, so I decided to bite the bullet rather than risk being stranded somewhere with no drive. Turns out it was a wise move, as the friction plates were quite worn - probably only another few thousand miles left in it.Other large spend was on a secondhand pair of wheels (same 20-spoke design) and a diamond-cut refurb.Smaller stuff was new wheel centres for the refurbed wheels (£76.67), a new boot catch (£65.88) and a pair of boot rubber buffers (£22.40 - same part as some random BMW)Over the last five years:£32,729.20Out of this, £7,932.40 was discretionary, leaving £24,796.80 essential expenditure.JustificationStill not good reading, is it? However, the 'big four' Vantage jobs (suspension, subframe, brakes, clutch) are now all done. Short of a catastrophe, that should be the end of the chunky bills.The overall cost since buying the car has been £543.82 per month / £17.87 per day, reducing to 'just' £412.24 per month / £13.54 per day if I only include the essential spend. Seems a bit hefty, but its the same monthly cost as the lease on an Audi Q5 2.0TD (and I get to keep the car at the end....)I'm fortunate enough to have a decently-paid job and the way I look at is that I start work at 8:00am each day and everything to do with the car is paid for by about 8:30am Other points of note Tyres - PS4S fitted when I bought the car still have close to 4mm on the
