[Martin Gutkowski <webmaster@xxxx>]

Mine's cost $7500 + $1250 shipping + £120 port charges and 5% tax.

Planned expenses now come to:

Gas struts £215 (already bought)
Battery £68
Headlights £??

Rich's one has already cost him an extra $375 for louvers, and will soon cost him another £300 for a windscreen, otherwise
it's the same as above. His doesn't require so much cosmetics as mine though.
