There better in every way, My Berlina has more electrics in it's doors then the old VB had in it's body  ... But it made my face grin with happiness. Something modern cars lack i think. |
You should do like me and simply keep all your old cars.
I gave our old VB to my 18 year old nephew who is rebuilding it from the ground up to give it a new life. Like mikmak says, everything seems better when you're young. He just likes it 'cos it's a manual and it's RWD. He has to use a six for now but there are V8's to slip in when he's off P's.
So the good things still apply and appeal. I like that he didn't turn into a ricer, as he wouldn't have been given a car for that....
Am I bad to indoctrinate an impressionable young mind to my way of thinking?
But I'm not trying to blind him to other brands. After the P's, instead of a V8 for the VB, there's a clean XR, a few tins of gold paint and a few spare Cleveland 351's and 9-inch rear ends with 4W discs with his name on if he wants.
