I totally agree with that Gambalunga. That's the place where I've arrived. I'd make an exception for a narrow bodied Plus 8, but not much else.
My feelings as well.
Dave, that is quite telling when you feel that way. I'm a non DIY non mechanical chap but you have the know how and ability.
And the Malvern Roadster, storm in a tea cup if you ask me. One is a factory built car, the other will not have that pedigree. Some will care and some won't. You pay your money and buy what you want. Can't see what the fuss is myself?
