    I just couldn't live with myself if I scrapped it.

    Don't worry! 1958 Chevrolets are not held in as great esteem as 1957 models and don't have the flair of 1959 models

    Crap! This thread had me googling cars and I've just found my dream car for sale. Mark V Lincoln Continental Bill Blass edition. I wonder how cross my husband would be if I cancelled his order for a VW Tiguan R Line and bought this beauty instead :D

    The OP is trying to be clever and using the analogy of a car to his experience with the NHS over a medical problem.

    If true then it was a spectacular fail.

    Quite. Unless they've only recently purchased the car then I would have expected them to be a member of a specialised forum in order to source spares etc. Used to own a 1970 plum crazy Dodge Charger and that was a mission to keep on the road, even with living in the States. Hours spent scouring the parts catalogues and driving miles to junk yards to strip parts off wrecks. It was a lovely car and always got lots of attention.

    Brother has a 440 RT 6pack, 1967, immaculate. Has just turned down £50k for it!
