I nearly bought my first Aero in 2003 (aged 40) however it was going to be my only car and used for business so I could not take the issues surrounding leaks etc. Loved it all the same, so did the wife who dis-liked every other car I considered.
In 2009 (46, age and IQ) I ordered a New Nissan GT-R 35 however the delay (19 months from order placed at 9.01 on the first day of release) meant I wanted something to tide me over providing fun so we bought the S2 which we have had since. It seems to have pretty much retained its value, costing a little but nothing like the GT-R would have. I cancelled the GT-R, it was boring after the Aero. The good lady even paid for a quarter of it, what more can you say.
Not finished quite yet though. Need to scratch that itch a little more. Big Five-O coming up soon. I need to grow old a little more disgracefully.
I think the young see travel differently, it is more about simple, trouble free, practical, fashionable, advertising, celebriddeeee endorsement cool. This is why retro like the Mini has done so well. Some of the charm without the effort. They don't seem to do effort in many cases.
A Morgan is not really like that. Less practical for certain. If I knew back then (aged 28 say) what I know now I would have had an Aero in a flash if it had existed. They don't realise what they are missing.
Jees I thought I was looking in the mirror there reading that, tried to order the GT (at46)(now 50) through a NISSAN worker who suggested he could get one in a couple of weeks with 25% discount, don't know who was the idiot, him for porking or me for believing him. TIT that's me of coarse.
looking at things now I just cant see anyway of ever getting rid of the Max, unless they made something even more crazy
NB: no I wont buy a 3W
