Old coolness and new hotness.

My trusty old Citroen 2cv6 next to my new ride. There's a bit of a contrast, but also a lot in common. Both have boxer engines, both have rag-tops, both are immense fun to drive. But the 2cv only has 602cc compared to 2700cc and 4 fewer cylinders. I'm going to have to sell the 2cv though and that's going to be a heart-breaker.

Last night I gave a friend a short ride in the new hotness. He's very much an old-fashioned gentleman; never swears and avoids any kind of talk about sexual matters. So it was highly amusing and totally out of character when I briefly stamped on the loud pedal to hear him exclaim, "Oh my god! This is magnificent! I'm getting a hard-on, I can finally understand why some people love cars! I WANT ONE!"

I wish I could, but I've got nowhere to keep it. Parking outside my own house is costing me £120 per month. This could be YOUR chance to own a fast-appreciating and super-cheap to insure and run classic car...
