RE: Schadenfreude

["Brian G. Reynolds" <brian.g.reynolds@xxxxxxx>]

Good one, do modern car owners have "fun" like we used too? I
think not, the
modern young-un's can afford much more expensive cars and the money is
readily available and readily taken by insurance companies!

Our era of cars were no where near as powerful as they are today? I really
do think the emphasis is on speed instead of looks, I drove my Range-Rover
with no roof for about 3 years, cold but bloody good fun!

Hate cars now, been driving 21 years without a crash and still get
clobbered
by the insurance companies!

Mind you, company van now :-)))))
