Big money here now a Lotus in good nick John. TR3....4....and 6 as well, Up to forty grand in show condition
If you wanted I can track you down a California Corvette here and put it on a boat. Not one spot of rust on these Calif cars. You would need your own private petrol tanker following you though. Plus a Yank minded mechanic. Probably not worth it on second thoughts. There are some great deals here in Corvettes. Be a left hooker though"If they control your speech.....they control your life"

Re: If you have a liitle dick like me....
I really don't get it with sports cars or so called muscle cars. To me they're just metal (or fibre glass) boxes to get from 'a' to 'b'. I def don't get these fukkers that waste their lives washing and bulling them up, my pet hate.
I really don't get guys in their 50's like a few colleagues where I worked who got promoted into the serious wedge range. The three of them bought themselves little sports cars. I couldn't even get into one of them it was so low.
At the opposite end you get the boy racers. I remember two of the bragging about what they had, e.g. 1.2 ltr this, 1,6, ltr that. I pointed out I had a bigger bottle of milk in the fridge.
I'll stick with my good old 17yr old puggy estate, I would never buy a new car and I certainly couldn't justify it, only did 2702mls between the last two MOT's. My mate reckons he did about 600 of those."We're surrounded on all sides... Good... you're obviously in the right place".

Got 2 Land Rovers,both falling to bits,and a couple of bikes.Never had a car capable of doing 100 mph,and never had the desire.As you say Don,it's just a box on wheels to get from A-B,and could never understand the little sports cars,if you cant get 6 of yer mates in it to go on the piss,it aint worth having!

First car I owned was a Vauxhall Victor 101 in 1973 followed by a couple of Cortina mark 2's some Mini's then differant company cars,
Had a Mazda Bongo van for 3 years and have a Ford Bmax at present.It's not the dog in the fight,it's the fight in the dog that matters.

A lot of people get it though Don. Some people its their hobby. Some its their business. Some its there very LIFE. I know a bloke here, met him once hes got a collection of 42 Ferrari's. People collect them. Trade them, make a living out of them. Join Car clubs. Swap ideas and info. They are into it big time. I just did a foundation on a blokes house and then his driveway, he is the President of the Corvette Club of America. Guy by the name of Mike Vietro. Also known as Corvette Mike. Took his passion for cars and ran with it.
The blokes that can walk in a dealership and make a cheque out for ninety to a hundred and ninety grand for a car, ain't struggling by any means....and don't care about money. Its no problem for them they just do it. I got a mate who pushes dirt for a living, he was taking in a couple of hundred grand a month out of bulldozers. He likes 4 wheel drive all terrain vehicles and is into Desert Racing. At his height him and his brothers/mates probably had half a million in a Desert racing set up. Google the Baja 500. Or the Baja 1000. Its big biz.
I just went with Mike Vietro about a year ago to view and appraise a Classic 1964 Corvette some body was going to put up for sale for a couple of hundred grand. They needed his expert advice. Turned out it was "only worth" a hundred and fifty. "Oh dear" said the bloke. "Maybe I will just keep it. Wait for an upswing in the market."
Now it ain't my cup of tea. I would never buy a new car. I am a bit of a shylock. I have to get a deal before I let the ackers go....but not everybody is like me. What makes no sense to us makes perfect sense to them. In fact it is their LIFE
