How to win friends and influence people the Jimbob way, they really should fly you into Syria as a peace negotiator and you could hasten the big war that is brewing in the Middle East.

Thats true, but if she can find an 06 model registered in the first 2 weeks of March 2006 then its still cheap, well £260 a year, mine is!

The only reasonably priced thing about it

I know what you mean place a classic next to a newage and obviously the discerning driver goes for the newage.

No the old fart with a bad back, and a special cushion, goes for the newage.
The classic is genesis, and we all know things get worse over time.

Just as some people get older they have trouble getting into cars, have sore bums, and bad backs. So need posture shoes, and seats that help you get up, tartan woolly slippers with velcro fastners. Its just a fact of life.

a bit of a generalisation there i think
1 i'm not old
2 i had to sell my car because of back /leg and arm problems and that was a newage so what does that say about me?
3 people make decisions whether they want newage/classics on individual reasons.i owned both and preferred the newage by far where as some people just keep spending money on cars that just aren't worth it

I'm not a fan of bug eyes and said I'd never have one..
But when a car comes along that's had a lot of work & money spent on it I thought why not....
It's been a cracking car and can't fault it ...
