Doubtless, these cars are addictive. The owner's loyalty to them can defy logic. It's only a car!

So what's the best and worst thing about the car itself and the ownership experience?

The worst bit for me so far was having to let go of the immaculate SC that I'd toiled with for over 2 years upon finally reaching a point of no return regarding unresolved engine repairs.

The best bit was realising that having done my homework, I'd found a cracking replacement with the benefit of my experience gained during the last couple of years' toil

Worst bit, leather quality, top coat is rubbing of on drivers seat due to my belt.

Best bit, the power !

Best bit - the car itself and the pleasure of driving it.

Worst bit - joining the forum and becoming paranoid about gearboxes "made of cheese" etc

Best bit - Joining the forum and getting lots of invaluable advice.  John
