This was the first car I owned, and I have had it for about 8 years now. Would love to say it's still going strong, but sadly the opposite is the true. I chose to spend a lot of money on the gem when I first got it - nice new paint job, mags, extractors/sports exhaust etc, without giving any forethought to the fact that given the car's age I would be forced to spend a lot more money on it in the future. A fews years ago it had a full engine rebuild (along with a hundred other things that needed to be fixed), and I thought that would ensure its survival. It currently sits in a shed, having been pulled apart and put back together by me and my partner, refusing to start. But I still love it, and care bear the thought of losing it - so I continue to have faith that it will one day run again.
