Can't believe the car is 16 years old already.What's more amazing, I am still gazing at it longingly after 16 years. Even now as I type it from a Starbucks, I glance at the car from time to time. And feel my blood pressure lowering at the soothing sight.Ha ha, even the car registration card has run out of space - had to get a kad sambungan recently. So thought I'd drop by the police station to clear any summons that might be blocking my roadtax. Got a shock. How many speeding tickets? Wow. I really pushed it. OK, ok, no budget, I told the police officer, just pay the ones actually blocking my road tax. The perils of plenty of torque and horsepower - breaking the speed limit is hard to avoid.Impressive how well-engineered these things are - such a level of performance, yet very little goes wrong if it is well maintained and well run. Apart from wear and tear replacements, no major dramas because all the drama issues were resolved long ago. And the technology is not so complex or we have worked out most of it by now, such that with a little ingenuity from enthusiast, we can rebuild pretty much all of it instead of spending on expensive complex parts.God willing, and with the help and encouragement of our fellow enthusiasts, I will keep the car ticking for as long as I can keep maintaining and rebuilding it. Lets see.</blockquote>
