Estimated expenditure to date!!! I sat down the other day and worked out just how much this has all cost. It's all worth it, and I am loving every minute.

So, talking approx figures, you've roughly doubled the cost of the basic Thrux (plus a bit maybe). To my eyes, it looks to be worth it! I'm sure the "seat of pants value indicator" is off the scale as well. The fun, the sense of ownership and accomplishment are all impossible to put a dollar figure on... you've got a one-of-a-kind... priceless.
