Re: Let's talk about cars
So found out today one of the guys I work with has a rather nice Mustang. It's a 66 V8. A cool car anyway, but made even cooler by the fact it was restored by himself, his dad and his grandad. He took me out for a spin in it, and I gotta say, the thing is absolute car porn as far as I'm concerned!!!!!!

Re: Let's talk about cars
That's great to see one of those restored. I was watching a show on TV yesterday where a guy had one professional restored and it cost $75k. It was a 67 coupe and the comment was made that the cost of restoring was about 3 times what the car was worth, and that you don't see many coupes restored for that reason.

Anyone willing to lend me 32k?

Or more realistically 3.5k for this
1963 Triumph Spitfire "round tail"
Damn, I really should be working.

Re: Let's talk about cars
Next time, skip the convincing yourself part and just buy one. I'm just about to start trying to convo once the wife to allow me to trade up from the V6 to the V8. I reckon in about 10 years, I'll be having the same conversation to upgrade the V8 to the Shelby.
