If you couldnt afford to resurrect your GT, you got no chance with a UR.......
My old mechanic said to me when I told him I wanted to buy a quatty "Don't bother! They are Moneypits! Just keep doing up your GT!" (I had an immaculate one at the time.....sold it and regretted it ever since)
And I hate to conceed he was right.......Moneypit has drained me of cash ever since

I think you've got to allow a couple of grand a year in maintenance, prevenitive maintenance, fettling to your "ambition". and then you have to find someone who can actually work on it without screwing it up.
Ofcourse some people get away with less but then they have to sell up when a big one comes along and the next sucker cops it.
I'm lucky, i can just about afford it - and love (mostly) every second of it, but if someone gave me a £1000 tomorrow i could spend it on my ur just like that

BTW, take heed of the warnings being given. Two ur's at that kind of money are only going to see a pound in your pocket in spares.

If a GT is causing pain then a ur is suicide. Two would be a Darwin award nomination.
