I'm back!

Do we care?

Looks like we're in for a Christmas of 'look what car daddy bought me this week'

Blimey, he's not even mentioned if it's a Ford or not and you're already on the hammer!

Heh.

I just know we're going to get the 'considerably richer' [1] act all over again.

Hi.

Finished last friday pretty much, home on tuesday and on hols till Feb 2nd :D

I dunno, what are the semi rich buying these days? Probly summet camp as you did own an MGF, Audi TT?

:)

But you and I have something much, much greater . . .

Don't know if anybody really cares but go on, tell us what Daddy's bought you now. I'm sure you'll start another dozen threads about what he should buy you next anyway.

You're parents have gone bankrput, so you're driving a D reg Fiat Panda?

In article , snipped-for-privacy@msn.com spouted forth into uk.rec.cars.modifications...

Don't tell me, a Trabant, or a 2CV, or a Fiat 126, because retro and suffering for your passion is so cool?

Fuck it, I want the rich parents instead of the something greater :)

Your one to talk.What make you suffer in a Retro car?

It's a well known fact that Carl has had to swap 30 miles of vacuum hose on his SAAB :P.

That's only because he didn't start with the right bit. Fool that he is. ;)

Hugo Taylor-Jones raved thus:

:: Guess the car I am driving now, it's not a T-5, nor is it the MGF or :: the Golf GTi...

Bentley. Or that Mustang from a recent thread with jap decals and the piston rotery.

Something you've bought yourself?

Unlike Hugo, my daddy isn't loaded. I don't have to trek across two continents to get to the Holiday home.

I drive a retro car for one simple reason. Becuase I can buy it for retro money, and still get most of the modern toys I want.

Actually I did start with the right bit. The vacuum hose. The whole bloody lot was either split, hardened or perished.

OK, so my gearbox is a little clunky, but other than that my 75 feels as tight as the day it came out of the showroom.

Turns in close on 40mpg, has loads of toys and is comfy.

No-brainer.

i think retro cars are a bargin, the ones that are still about are normally the better ones so unlikely to be complete crap (still gotta be careful though) few tweaks normally ups the power to something respectable for not to much hard earned notes.

plus most that see my car love it's retro look and it's cool when someone comes up and says 'thats a pretty cool car, what is it?'

plus hopefully when i can afford a SC conversion it'll have that stealth power thing going too hehe, doubt many would exspect a 0-60 of 5.8secs from a B reg ;)
