Interesting read that Kermie
Very interesting, accurately charts the downhill trend towards image over utility.
That's about £80.000 in today's money .....What else could give so much fun for the money
.....
And just how much have you spent during your ownership?£48,705 to be exact
My first one cost 10% of that and I have spent about £2k on it in over 12 years£48,705 to be exact
Cheap motoring and a hobby to boot
Got to agree. Paid £3000 for mine 6 and half year ago, spent just under £5000 and a pleasure to tootle along in herMy first one cost 10% of that and I have spent about £2k on it in over 12 years
Much easier to work on a 20 year old car than a modern oneWe have to build a reliable car.. Especially one that is around the 20yr mark.
I fully agree there buddy
Its like the latest for learner drivers. They wont have to learn how to change gear and use clutch control because of electric carsI fully agree there buddy
They don't want you to learn how to fix vehicles, on fact they would rather you simply can't. That way garages are kept in business with repairs and people buy new cars more often
Don't you mean can keep ripping you off for repairs and spares
Citing it's good for the environment because less emissions.. ignoring the impact of creating and destroying cars
It's not ripping you off, it's 'keeping the economy going'Don't you mean can keep ripping you off for repairs and spares
Big issue aswell is recycling the batteries
In most cases, dealers don't do older vehicles.. The independent garages deal with the overly complicated repairs and have to tell a customer that 2007 vw pïssat needs a 400€ rear caliper!! Or a 250€ injector or 4 on a 2005 shïtroen c3.... Almost seems like its our fault these things are made of shït and cost a fortune to replace...

A recent client complained of a bill for 548€ to repair the said pïssat just before Christmas... Like its my fault.. Sometimes I'd like to say f#ckoff?! But that's not cricket...
