the only question that really matters is: WHAT COLOUR IS IT?
i love old cars. but having had a 1970's beetle, you have to be able to look after them, or they are nothing but a black hole for cash. and also they don't go very fast. so i'd love to have a proper old beetle, preferably a ragtop, or maybe an mg. but then something like a bugatti for hooning it around in the rest of the time.

Just a Bugatti as a runaround?
Very demanding.

Because like all demanding women, you can't afford it yourself. ;-)

Thank God.
We can't have you kipping on the back seat of a Bugatti.

Depends on the car
Ferrari - red or Black
Jaguar - racing green
Aston Martin - Silver

Classics that is

You really need a garage if you're going to have something like a Beetle or a Mini
they just rust, otherwise. It is, as you say, like pissing your money in to the wind.

You know what they say.
Rusty roof.
Smelly garage.

or in my 17 year old case
pissing my dad's money into the wind. it lasted a year. then i got a fiesta. it was brand new and utterly reliable and very shiny and pretty. but it was not quite the same as the beetle, with its vibrating floor and lack of seatbelts and top speed of 60mph...

You don't get attached to new cars as you do to old things with weird quirks.
Humans are strange creatures.

I've never loved a car more than the one that spent most of its time in my possession broken.

so why is it that so many men leave their wives for some 23 year old secretary, eh?

( rachelswipe with a fork, Fri 26 Aug 2011, 11:13, Reply)

Because cars get better looking with age.

ah yes, i forgot it is all about teh looks
hmmm.

I had a Mini
and then, in a fit of youthful stupidity, I got another Mini. I spent a large chunk of my inheritance keeping those things on the road.
Then I got a Fiesta, which has served me (mostly) faithfully ever since. But when that dies, I'm getting another Mini, and no I don't care if you can't get child seats in it and they're unsafe and expensive, I'm bloody well having one.
