Hm..
Funny how trolls only come out once, and not respond the next day with 'thank you for advice' and so on, What about a little modern car, one that has airbags, can connect to your phone, uses half the amount of fuel, don't break down, has parts available etc. Wouldn't 99 out of 100 young first drivers worry about fuel cost? How can someone state 'fuel doesn't matter', unless they were an old internet troll, and why would they suggest a car model that existed 20 - 30 years ago. Don't feed trolls, not many reasons to respond further to these posts  So, unless Harry123 immediately comments why he wants a vintage first car then clearly this just wasted our time |

I see that those thinking that new member HarryLundo was trolling are somewhat slow with their apologies as well

To me, trolling includes being a four asterisk, or at the least a rod polisher.
