I presently own both German (72 911E) and British (58 Austin Healey Sprite and 72 MGB) and they all have their particular quirks which is probably why people like us own them. What all three have in common is that a person of average mechanical ability can actually do their own work on the cars. I also post on the british car boards and have noticed a major difference between those boards and this board: When you need some part on a Porsche the posting usually is "where can I buy it the cheapest." On the Brit boards the post usually will include an answer by someone that has figured out how to make the part themselves even though the part is cheap and available.
