Car appreciation... the aesthetics, the engineering, etc

Tread carefully UG, you've got at least two classic symptoms of Shedosis:
1) have convinced self of rationale to buy impractical/unusual car
2) money burning hole in pocket
3) perma car-boner
I've seen men buy allsorts in this condition. Montegos. Rover 800 coupes. Citroen BX turbos. Yes: be very careful.

Anyone who buys a Montego (even the turbo) should be shot.
Rover 800's were genuinely terrible - friends of my parents had one and it actually fell to bits daily from the minute it left the showroom.
The Citroen B(m)X was an utter rectum of a car unleashed on us by the French - proof enough that they hate us as much as we hate them.

An ancient German will cost you, but at least it'll last.
