I wish I could afford to tax/insure/service/run a 'hobby car'.

My wife's daily driver is a '91 Citroen ZX Volcane...the same 1.9 petrol
unit as found in the 205GTi and various 405s. In two years of ownership
absolutely *nothing* has ever gone wrong with it !

Of course, the situation here in the UK is very different to that in the
US....peugeots and citroens are mainstream cars here. It seems that every
other car on the road at the moment is a 406 or Xantia...

My 605 SVE24 (daily driver, again) is still fairly unusual however.
