I see this from both sides the cost off keeping a old ford is not cheap look how much parts are now, rust is a big thing and u have to try to look after your old banger,i will drive mine in the rain when i want to but not in the snow as people in plymouth drive really bad in it as we dont see it much come to think off it they dont need snow.But it is up to the person who owns the car it is sad but here i can not go shopping in mine or leave it out side my own house for 5 mins because every car i do leave out always ends up with marks on it i do sort off blame the mums with there buggies and kids with there bikes thats just the way people are now im sorry to say.
