I think you've got to have a mental limit with spending. With my old SD1 that was about a grand, as that was all the best 2300 could have sold for at the time.
With the Merc I pushed it and it cost me about 8k after 2 years, for a car that would never be worth half that. But even then I could see I had to stop or the expenditure would be never-ending.
With the Porsche I basically wanted to spend as little as possible on it because it turned out that I just didn't like it.
The Vespa can have anything it wants. It's gone way way past ever being economical anyway.
The DB9 can have 60k a year cos the warranty is amazing. Ain't going to cost me anything apart from consumables.
