Our cars are our passion, prices are incidental, profit or loss is not a consideration, except strictly within the family.
My greatest pleasure comes in driving (not as frequently as I would like) and playing with my cars. The sheer magic of cleaning up parts to reveal the splendour of Lancia engineering is something that I feel and cannot really express.
Juliet (of simonandjuliet) is right to make assessments on a bonkers'ometer. We are all on there somewhere, and we move backwards and forwards on it from time to time, hopefully I will not fall off although I think that Lynn would often like to push me !!!!
BUT, this is what we do, it is what we are !! As David alluded to, how much could we spend on a golf course, going for a walk in all that high tech gear .....
The value of our cars is not the money we could get at the auction, it is the joy, the fun and pleasure that we get from them and from the camaraderie of the fellow owners, whether that be at events, on the forum or whatever, wherever.
And long may this continue, long after I have popped my clogs!!
