Woops! Giess I was a little too hasty on the keyboard there, and
should have been more attentive to phrasing. Waaay to much time on
my hands. I did not intend to get anyone's knickers in a knot.
Investments can be looked at either from their positive gain or
their negative gain. Agreed cars wil seldom provide a positive gain.
My point is that we should not belittle the less-exotic Brit sports cars as
being perversely large black-holes for money; indeed, we should be
suprised at how little we lose on our *investment*.
Wot price the grin factor?
