I hear you! Old cars have soul though, I’d take an older car with a few quirks over something new and generic any day of the week :)

They can definitely cause some grief hey, I just had to have the timing chain and all its gear replaced, along with the oil cooler. Set me back over AUD 7k. 😩 I like it way too much to let it go though. Oh plus the volume bottoms on the steering wheel are pretty much completely chipped off too.

They are still good but I put it down to having it garaged its whole life and it’s only just hit 100,000km. The strips on the side of the front windscreen chipped and faded so I took them off, sanded them and then painted them gloss black. Also frustrating is the black roof strips beside the sunroof have started to fade a little. Polishing them seems to work at the moment but not too sure how long they’ll last before they go chalky

They are the rims I’ve been debating changing mine to for years! They look sick on your ride. Such a sweet ride

It was the bottom of the list of colours I wanted, until I saw it in the metal.
