Haha, they certainly do test your patience and wallet and what alcohol is strong enough areas when they play up, but I agree old car with issues but still a great car though they have better looks than some modern cars have more power and bring a smile to ya face, this is favourite car and I've had bmw Subaru's focus st but the character of these is somthing else, hope you carry on enjoying your crisis car for many more years lol.I was midlife crisis age and had enough of always being sensible, always wanted one of these, and so fed up of old bangers always letting me down! Yeah it's an old-car thing though, they develop a sense of humour, or rather the built-in SOH chip is activated, so that their testing is done with careful and evil timing.
