    As long as the wheels are turning, then that’s a great car

    You're probably too young to remember Pearl

    It all depends on why you think a car is great - performance, looks, usefulness etc. etc.

    I'd like to say "Citroen SM" but as for owning one, I'd rather have another Citroen 2CV in a heartbeat.
    I'd vote for the 2CV as well.
    If someone is nice to you but rude to the waiter, they are not a nice person.

    The Jowett Javelin was an excellent car, and well ahead of its time. Sadly, as with so many other excellent British products, it didn't make any money. It was produced from 1947 - 1953.
    I used to think that good grammar is important, but now I know that good wine is importanter.

    There were loads of Javelins around when I was a lad - but the scarcer Jupiter is the one I'd like to own today.

    There were 3 Javelins in our small town in late 1950s/early 1960s, 2 were owned by fathers of school friends, coincidentally both fathers were in the RAF.

    There are so many old Yaris's about, with no signs of rust. Must be in the top 3.
    Nice to save.
