But this goes back to 10 years and now I have nothing more to do. I keep my car as long as it will hold up. I went into the clan of motorists who drive useful and not fluff or toy.

But I may well be trapped by manufacturers who want to subscribe to their sav ... that's why I search the minimalist car ... a kind of Ford T in modern times.
Totally agree with you, I drive a 25 R1989 300000kms GPL, I hope it will last. I have another R25 from 1986 GTX gasoline 270000kms pending, a 504 gasoline from 1981, a 104 from 1973 110000kms, a R21 nevada gasoline from 1986 370000kms. They are all in working order. I use the R25 LPG for the moment the one that costs me the least in fuel, but I am never ballasted with catalyst, DPF, nor the whole armada preventing access to the engine. If the GPL breaks I switch to another; the other advantage is over 25 years = collection => more control and you can drive in the neighboring departments. As long as I want that I make it last and we are in 2006, and I went on vacation to Corsica again in 2005 with the 504 which goes almost everywhere in a 4x4, super strong and easy to repair.
Nowadays, to find the Ford T is very hard, perhaps Renault Logan is the best solution even if aesthetically it is not in tendency but we do not care.
