PHers have never had it as good - cars with proper engines
Discussion
We are told that the cost of motoring keeps going up and up.
Yet, you can have a lovely barge on your drive and an MX5 in the garage for £2k, with plenty of change from a new Golf's depreciation alone to fund whatever tweaking takes your fancy and a few repairs if necessary. I'm now running a 4wd V8 barge with fairly reasonable performance for a tiny purchase price.
Given almost all cars are heavy and diesel, it seems to me that this is a high point for proper 'budget' petrol heads - soon the throwaway 6/8 cylinder petrol barge will be no more, and regulation means the like of the early MX5s just wont be possible.
In short, I'm worried we've never had it as good and things will only go downhill from now on for those of us with limited budgets - certainly anything with a proper 6 or 8 cylinder petrol will cease to exist
