Hmm it's French so at the first sign of trouble it'll surrender, then go on strike on Monday morning and leave you stranded, usually at a ferry port :(

other than that I looks grand :)

lol @ confusing "retro" with "old"

I had a 19 chamade years ago. Utter, utter dog turd. Kept it for a week, then sold it (for a profit LOL). Worst car I ever owned, hated the damned thing.

If I got it for free, I'd sell it and use the monies to buy something else lol

it goes something like this.... there are 2 sorts of old car..... the ones that people consider great & cherish them & keep them going..... and the ones that simply don't get used much & are left in a garage by their owners.... yours is the latter
Edd
24-07-10, 12:41 PM
The previous owner probably realised that the only way he was going to get rid of it was to give it away
