To me, I've heard that the first generation was fragile, something to matter with the timing (each 50 000 kms if I do remember well).

I can't stop to think about the French cars with the same age old, nothing to compare.

I've thought a moment to start to collect these cars, repair it in the art rules, and start to sell them. Not in the idea to win some money, but just to cover bills and to allow to pay me a sandwich each day. Everybody seems to be on the same boat, riding the river, expecting the goal to reach.

It's so much more rewarding to take your time and walk on the shore.The trip is better than the goal for me.

Anyway, I get seasick...
