I like the older cars for their feel, the smell of a carbie motor that is warmed up, just the character they have. Old but clean and original is what I like.

We kind of think alike here. The old school feel of a cammed carby v8 donk just gets the blood pumping. After owning Subaru's for nearly 10yrs after getting out of Fords, I miss this.
But in saying that. What Franco says has a lot of merit. There is a very fine line between having something cool and cheap you can take places and then worrying if some twat is going to damage it in the car park if you have spent 20k+ on it.
