why we drive old cars (was Toyota UA-LAC)

[Dave]

in the midst of all this retro, i would point out a couple of things:

1. those with old cars seem keen to keep them, but haven't had much
experience of new cars - and every bad story goes viral faster than the next
one of britney going commando
2. those with newer cars seldom want to go back - if they truly remember the
old days...

go figure :-)

now, don't get me wrong, i understand old - i'm finishing summer holidays
and my old 1953 fordson dexta tractor at the beach has received further
ministrations.  as unreliable and cranky as the old 3-pot diesel is, it has
the advantage that it's wiring diagram can be printed on a single a4 sheet.
with room to spare.  i think my current vehicles run to 300+ pages. i remain
joined-at-the-hip to all of them.  for different reasons..
