I think it's not only the matter of driving one or not, but also a matter
of having taste or not. The first time I saw a Spitfire I was approx.
16 years old, and I liked the car. I never drove one, and when I was 32
I bought one (now I'm 33, still relativeley young). So, what I'm trying
to say is: You guys out there have a very good taste because you drive/
love these cars! And beautiful things are not always very practical/
comfortable etc. .... :-). I don't even know what a VW Fox is, but it
sounds awful.
Have a good Christmas all of you!
