But it's no sort of fun which cannot be equally obtained from something more modern and less.... erm, Volvoy, given the same amount of expenditure. Infact, you'd probably get even more fun by going bonkers on an old BM or something.

We need more loonies like that, or like Penski, who want to do things because they are fun, not because they are sensible or cost-effective!
The reason for worrying about money is how to get the most fun out of it, and if your fun is different to other peoples, then so much the better.
