What does this car say about you?
Stylish, original and classy
What do your friends / family / neighbours think of the car?
stylish, original and classy - once they've seen it they all want it
Would you buy this car again and why?
No, never do the same thing twice. I wouldn't go to the same place on holiday so wouldn't do the same with a 166 although I hope that this will last me for a while yet. I'll think of it as a round the world trip rather than a weekend break.
What are you likely to buy next?
Something small and fast with 2 seats.

Not yet touch wood and am hoping it stays that way
