Then priorities changed. We were still buying two year old cars, but were keeping them for over a decade. It was around that time when my toys became 30 year old cars which I was comfortable working on, the old E, a '90 MX 5 and the '89 Golf Cabriolet. I guess my feeling was: if they're stuck in garage awaiting parts or loving, it's no big deal.
I must admit, reading this thread, I was reminded of the Python skit of the Yorkshiremen talking about how little they had while growing up.

Best to All.
