I agree with you, @andrew, […]

There was even a strand of jokes […]

I had a few rust issues to deal with on the one I ran.

I did report back […]

I have no idea where, though. But maybe you can grab yourself a bargain, @andrew!

I brimmed the car in Copenhagen and drove it back here, but haven’t yet refuelled […]

There is some truth in that other saying that it can in fact become just as expensive as you want it to: […]

@Andrew, well, if they’re rare in France, then no wonder they’re practically extinct here in the UK.

@Tony, I […]

And I would agree with you – whether choosing a wooden or leather steering wheel depends very much upon the car you intend […]

I’d say that the Countach is vulgar in a way I can very much relate to, […]

However you’re touching on an important point: One should also r […]

Even if it was, why […]
