# old car is worth more than new car silly person
(I helped save b3ta! SkUG >_O i got a couple of stitches in my eyeball... ow, Wed 10 Dec 2008, 21:43, archived)
# This is not really true, is it?
I have a 1964 split screen camper, which is worth a bit, but not as much as an Audi A6, for example.

A new car is normally worth more actual cash than an old one, just because of demand.

# To be fair,
most of the old cars have fallen apart too. They are easier to mend, but they aren't terribly good.

Bear (roar!) in mind that I have pretty much always had vintage vehicles until now (Delica is pretty fucking basic though!)

# Bloody hell,
That's not so much of a leap.

Reminds me of my first side-car. I built that out of chipboard at first and went nowhere - the aluminium version must still be around somewhere.

# Far out!
A 21 window bus would be worth utterly stupid money...people pay north of $25,000 for them over here.

On the other hand, my 1969 MG Midget is worth squat. Midgets are the unloved car.

# I like the midget,
but am too tall.

*counts windows* 2 at the front, 2 diddy ones, the two which open (I guess they are two, not four), 6 down the sides and one at the back.

13 windows, I guess?

This looks the same, but says it is an 11 window:

# last time i was in one of those...
(it was on the back of a trailor ready to be repaired) I pushed on the brake pedal and my foot went through the floor and i rolled off down the hill, grabbing the handbrake which did nothing at all :D - only stopped by 4 mates jumping infront and hanging on the bumper!
