£2,999. That’s the number that caught my eye when I stumbled on that car review earlier. That’s exactly how much I’ve saved up over three years of busking outside King’s Cross. Every coin from rainy afternoons, every tenner from commuters who lingered for a chord progression. I’ve been putting it aside for a new portable amp that won’t cut out mid-set when the rain hits. Funny to see that same amount tied to a fancy electric MINI. Mine’s going to make way more noise, anyway.
