There are many tales of woe on the forum ATM, people having to sell up etc because of the running costs. Thought i was going to be one of them TBH.
I don't think things will get much easier in the future either. Problems in the middle east are only going to push petrol prices up even further.
But, having said all of the above i will NEVER sell up. Why should I? I work hard for what i have as does everyone else on here. I always get a buzz when i give it the beans, and indeed when i hear another scoob out there. Most of the time, i get a wave from other scoob drivers too. Makes you feel part of a larger family.
Sod the running costs, you only live once.
