    I like buying the cars I lusted over as a teenager, apart the Ferraris, 911, 928 etc live the dream for a while then move them own and try something else. The Mondial of course, is the Holy Grail :D

    For me it’s a Maserati Bora on the drive, some Swedish furniture and a classic B&O stereo with a pine cabinet full of good vinyl [emoji16]

    Ah!, I can only imagine, one of the old bills in my large folder of big bills is for $17k, I remember showing Seela it when we first bought the car saying “wow imagine having a bill like that”.. here we are [emoji12]

    Did mention that due to the material used in the lining of the hydraulic actuator, lack of use is the main cause of failure.
    (Enjoy that car Chinny[emoji4]
