Well, after much thought, worry, will I/won't I etc. etc .I finally sold my second car today to be replaced by a '66 122s

Have I done the right thing? Will it fall to pieces/breakdown on the drive home on Sunday??? Time will tell.

It will have to live on the street in all weathers, get driven by me and occasionally my missus for school transport, on short/medium runs. Not every day, but on a pretty regular basis.

Its not perfect, needs a wee bit TLC, but I'm looking on it as a "rolling restoration". I'm no stranger to older cars, (got a couple in the garage right now), but they have always been weekend toys doing a few thousand miles over the year, not providing daily duties.

My wife appreciates that this is all part of my mid life crisis, and it may pass over time......

Site has been great for information, but if anyone has some top ten tips/must have upgrades I'd really appreciate your input !

Cheers
Gerry
