# probably, knowing how wank ford dealers are
i think my sister still has an 8 Track player in the attic. When I finally get my hands on another classic car, i shall be wanting to fit that.

# if you're going to be putting audio equipment into it
you might want to buy one rather than just putting your hands on it... unless you live in a society with different rules regarding ownership

# ah
you see buying cars is something i avoid. i wait until other people are so sick of them that they are willing to give them away.

the other option i go for is "short term ownership":

pay 50 quid for an imminent MOT failure wreck, run for six to 9 months, weigh it in for 30 quid scrap. bargain!

# I'm with you on that
Living in London, my car was just for heavy shopping and local trips.
My best was a clapped out Rover 213. I bought it for 250 pounds and kept it for almost 4 years. Only replaced the brake pads and chucked in a bit of oil on the odd occassion.
The only reason it failed its MOT was because of rust.
