Only time will tell but I'm glad I bought my trad while I could.
I completely agree Steve. Whatever direction InvestIndustrial are going to take MMC, and I wish them all the very best, I don't think it's going to include trad cars for trad owners for much longer.
I'm very glad I have my trad, and I'm even gladder it's an older model so I can dick about with it to my heart's content. I occasionally think about getting a newer model (usually whenever I see lovely smart new cars like yours) but I very quickly dismiss the idea when I start thinking about the implications of not being able to tear the thing apart should I feel the urge.
