Well, avoiding French chod is certainly a good way of saving money...

I very nearly bought this about 15 years ago. Bauer Millett had it up for about £6k. Virtually bugger all mileage, as new. I was sorely tempted, but realised that if I owned it, I'd use it, and then it'd end up just a rusty old one-off wreck.
