PGT: I drive, I don't motor. I open the hood to work on the motor. I open the hatch to put groceries in. The car I bought is a mongrel... German design and parts, assembled in the UK with a Brasilero motor. You won't find me at a pub drinking warm beer, eating bangers and mash pretending I wished I had bad teeth. If I wanted a true unreliable British car, there'd be an old TVR in my garage.
