That’d be some pretty serious sturgery

Your system really seems fucked

Indeed - amoxicillin isn’t exactly a glamour drug

Pro’s - Golf, VR6, looks to be in decent shape

Why are these people going to food banks when they could be eating cake?

I think they’re doomed

Farewell and Adieu, you fair Spanish Deladies.....

Not that such a beast would ever see terrain tougher than a picnic site, but I’m trying to imagine 250 mph All-terrain tires

Well done - I’d milk this one for all it’s worth

“This time, Donald Frederickovich, I ride you like the big bear. It’s sort of my thing, yes?”

I suspect that he’s chock full of beta-carotenes. He might be hard to choke down, but you’ll probably be able to see in the dark afterwards

Sure, he has more money than god, and likely nicer houses, but he’s got to look at that in the mirror every morning. Does having lots of money turn you orange? I’m starting to see a trend here...

Fiat engines were always quite reliable. Everything else was not

Excellent choice

Don’t try to compete with a new(ish) buy - you’ll lose every time. Go with a classic that doesn’t look like it’s trying too hard, spend the money to get it mechanically sorted, then when someone says “what a cool car!”, respond with “this old thing? Yes, it’s a fun hobby”, implying that this is your fun runabout and…

Ireland - Fiats were very popular at one point. My folks had 6 Fiats in succession: the 124, a 128, two 127s, a Ritmo and a Regata. Despite Fiats rep here in the US, all 6 were rock solid reliable.

That’s some adorably awkward styling. I love a decent greenhouse and mourn its slow demise. Compare an old 911 to modern iterations, or look at pretty much any sharknose BMW - all that space and visibility!

My folks had a 124 wagon back in the day - it was (in hindsight) awesome

Miata seats are a great upgrade - better fore-aft adjustment, better lateral bolstering, actual head restraints and (for the early versions, at least) built-in headrest speakers. NA, and maybe NB, seats fit TR6s - I’m not sure if they’d fit in a GT6/Spitfire, which seem even smaller than the TR6

A GT6 would be the dogs bollocks. I was never a fan of the Spitfire, with its weedy little 4. The GT6 has, as James May would put it, “a proper British sports car engine”.
