I added up the receipts the other night, and died a little inside. I can just imagine Chris de Burgh singing that. I'd rather not, but there he goes now. :D I know what you mean, but my view is, as many have already said, that we don't do it for the chance of profit. Yes, there are cars I've bought...

'Twas a Ventora that I spied earlier, that IL6 can maybe trace its roots back to 1930s America but man can it sing! The slant four in the Victor et al has five mains, tough things right enough, but for an IL4 that's also half of a V8 and that can last very well with correct servicing (look at the nu...

There's a fwd car that has a rwd BMW platform with V8 and it just looks right. Seen @ NEC Classic Show a couple of years ago, yes, it's a Ritmo ragtop: http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2009/2357086879_b1730a041a_o.jpg :o LoL@ the strut brace, that's a bit too chocolate fireguard IMHO.
