Apologies, I did come across overly combative and defensive, I didn't intend to.
I also did generalise a fair bit with regards to classic car owners, didn't mean to offend anyone else.
I am definitely pro classic car ownership overall, MX5 ownership has felt more like classic car ownership in recent years rather than fun little retro sports car, and I definitely appreciate every single person that keeps old cars running because I bloody love seeing other retro and classic cars on the road.
You could probably pinpoint my own jealousy that I don't have the commitment to use a classic car as my "family ULEZ friendly car" as probable source of my own sourness.
I definitely appreciate the fact that you are all on the thread and if there's any positive to come out of this discussion is that I hope you feel more inclined to share your ownership experiences more!
