Why do I spend more time imagining how great it would be to own half of the tatty old mongrels on this thread, than Ferraris or whatever?

My Dad's old car, we both bought this as a joint project in Nov 1984 for I think £800. It stood in his garage and he put it on the road in 1998 after a partial engine and gearbox rebuild, it was used for shows around Yorkshire for the next 8 years before being taken off the road again where he fitted some outer and inner sills, he sold it to a dealer down South about 5 years ago, I believe it was then sold to a car collector before being auctioned a couple of years later and moving onto the present owner in Worcestershire, I think this was at the auction at the NEC car show in May this year but didn't sell

because on here, you're surrounded by sadists and/or lunatics. 

 

It's a disease, and I'd like to see government funding to help (pay forum costs and give all members a Brown or beige 1970's British heap).

 

Relax, it's perfectly normal* (for here)

I like these. I like that they're relatively simple and unassuming transport. I like that piston-head bores, who attempt to define themselves by what they drive, hate them because it means I'm not one of them.

I can't imagine why anyone bought one brand new, when they cost up to £16,000 in 2001 money, but I'm glad they did because now they're knocking about for way below £1000. It's the Carina E for those who are unable to convince their partner that a 20 year old Toyota is a good thing. Ideally I'd have an Opel Monza parked in a heated garage for weekends, obviously, but for day to day travel and supermarket car park ding collection, this would be the one.

This one in particular, the owner has been playing cambelt roulette seemingly unknowingly.
