I'd buy a "BMW" Triumph - only if it has a "classic" option extra.

They loosen all the bolts - don't bother with any rust prevention - and put
small hole's everywhere that there's oil - so that it slowly drips out.

What would I do on my weekends if it didn't have something needing doing to
it?

Did anybody see the GT6 concept stuff in The Courier - now that would be a
nice car - but a but flash for me.

Something I have been concerned with are cars that might be future
classic's - aren't they going to be impossible to work on? With all that
computer gadgetery now used on most cars? And all those expensive specialist
tools. I just can't see how people are going to be able to work on them.
