Like love, this is a totally irrational decision. I find the OP's question questionable, in that he is trying to use a rational, logical means to find out the answer to an irrational, illogical desire to own an absurdity!

This came up in my ongoing divorce trial, in that I was questioned on just why I would spend this money on this car at this time. I had to answer honestly, "Why not? Even with the miles I have spent driving it, the maintenance, the time, I can still sell it for 95% of what I paid for it but the time I spent driving it has been priceless!"

Why not?


And what did the judge say about that?

My own answer to Paul's question is probably the attraction of having to concentrate very hard at relatively low speeds. What is the point these days of a road car with over 400bhp and fat, grippy tyres?
