It was you, believe me :) I know the Sonetts and the 95s/96s are lovely and superb cars, but as time goes on even the 99 becomes too old a car to be a workable classic. The 900 spanned so much time that an old 8V model is a classic where a 16V of the same year is just an old car. I Iove the T8s for the sound. I've looked at facelift T16s and thought well, they're nice but they're just old cars. I love the old(er) ones - the old T8s are the ones for me ... Great growl. The old (pre-facelift) T16s are really nice as well, but I like other people owning those, if you see what I mean. Go on Dave, Getchaself a nice 8 valve injection. They're great in snow!
