Happy Birthday

[badredwedge]

Rubin, my red nosed red wedge is 14 today. Just trying to imagine how his first owner felt 14 years ago as he drove it off the forecourt.

Just think how the first owner of my car felt after parting with 43 thousand pounds an 1989 !

In 1989 43k would have bought you half of Wales

So how much was a 400 in 1992 ???

He might have been thinking "I'll just go steady...."

Well mine was just under £30K with the options 17 years ago so now worth @6500 ?

So depriciation of 23k over 17 years so about £2k a year Throw away in 2010 as worthless ?

Thought the spoiler was standard on the 400
