sounds familiar, but my boss
when i told him i was buying a saff, he asked why? as they are too old nowadays
he then went on to explain about his old cosworth, which he traded in against his h-plate transit (which he still owns

).
when i showed him a picture of one, he said thats not a real one, as it had a sunroof, and real sierra cosworths dont have sunroofs
also when discussing TVR's one day he suggested that they are now unreliable, cos they have been bought out by a russian

and the old ones were much more reliable.
one day he borrowed his 'friends' one and drove it into work (before i started here, of course) and i bet you cant guess what model it was..................................thats right
a speed 12!!!
