I'd double that mileage in the first week if I could afford it.

If only my !@#$%^ Federal Government would let me bring this puppy into
the country, I'd buy it in one quick minute!

If you own it in the UK for so long can you not import it?

I'll look after it for you. I have a garage. I will even run it every
weekend for you.

Ok so I'll even look after it rent free - what a guy...

What an utter waste. I mean *why*?? A short run every three weeks. By
bloody fiesta.

Bet the engine is in a right state

I agree. Bloody low millage owners should not be allowed
to keep these types of car. They should be Made to use them
so that They can be Seen and enjoyed.

No wonder the seller reckons many people don't recognise what it is,
if he keeps it locked away from public gaze. Mad. What does he do?
Live abroad, and just come home every 3 weeks to feed the goldfish
and take a quick peek at his car?

No. The law says that you would have to keep it for me until it was 25
years old before I could bring it in without DOT safety approval. OK for
you, not OK for me. In 12 more years I'll be too old to enjoy it. ;->

No, no no. They should be made to lend them to me for that pupose ;)

No, unfortunately, I'm not 12 years old. You would have to hold on to
the car until THE CAR was 25 years old, not me. :-)
