Beautiful car. I too like to keep car budgets under control so I feel this thread is something I can relate to. Cars stop being fun when they own you...I'll read along

Even when I was tooling around in my mega-mile Alfa GT diesel, I'd often drive for several hours without the radio or CD. Now that I have a tuneful V8 to listen to, I'm even less likely to have any music playing.So - there's no way I'm spending close to £2k to have the full Apple CarPlay gubbins fitted - OK, it would be great to be able to use the inbuilt satnav screen to show Waze from my phone, but I've survived many years with a phone in a holder on the dash, so I'll continue with my cheapskate ways for now.However, AI also do a Dension / Bovee set up for about £675 fitted - still a chunk of money, but somewhat easier to justify than the full CarPlay solution. From what I can see, the Dension is about £300 retail anyway and the Bovee another £80 on top, so it's a fairly decent price. Seeing as I haven't had a nasty surprise with the service bill, I might splash out a bit (or my Yorkshire ways might prevail and I'll keep the money for when the inevitable big bill arrives).The only other aspect of the car that I'm going to have to work hard not to get sucked into is the performance. I came from a very highly modded Fiat Coupe 20VT, with over 480bhp in just 1300kg, so the V8V is a bit underwhelming in comparison. It just feels like it could handle another 100bhp without flinching. That said, I sold the Coupe because it was just too quick (50% higher power to weight ratio than the Vantage), so I need to learn to live within the Vantage's capabilities. I need to resist spending money on performance mods, simply because the return on investment is so low. I guess it's all relative - the Vantage isn't exactly slow....Performance mods would cost a lot and put a lot of buyers off when the time comes to sell it. It is one of the best looking cars ever made and sounds great. It is a sporty GT you can use every day. If
