It'll probably all be computerised and roboticised by then!

Used to be a trade-mark on a lot of my cars, way back when. Always remember the guy who was mortified at the frenched aerial in my Mustang when he came to buy it. Said it was the first thing he was going to get rid of! And apparently he did put a new guard on it.
It had cracks running out in all directions from the hole, so after it was welded, it was never going to be strong enough to hold a decent sized aerial. So fill the whole lot in and French a hole in the stronger hip line.
Bought my Lotus Exige S1 back in '07 when they were at their low ebb. Around 2012 they started to attract the attention of collectors and have since become very sought after and collectable due to their special nature and rarity.
My father bought a 3.8L E-Type in '98 back when they were at a low too. bought a basket case one for about $16k and we spent 7 years rebuilding it, probably about $60k all up. Currently worth about $300k judging by the international market. Having said that, E-Types have been classics for years, not exactly a new thing.
