More money than sense?

One wonders what to buy if you have more sense than money! 🤔

Why, a bicycle, of course!

Everything that I possess obviously. 😂

Beat me to it

Though TBH it is more my wife who has the sense, but since all our accounts are joint, I can't buy anything big without it being questioned.

This is one of the many reasons why the GLW and I are still married. I trust her implicitly with our accounts and little escapes her eagle eye - !
Polar opposite to my first wife who had the simple philosophy of I earned it, she spent it. If she wanted something 'extra', she would get a part time job until she had the readies for whatever it was, then mysteriously get made redundant.

I'm unsure if these 'continuation' cars are (or can be) registered for road use. The RS200 is available as a (very accurate) replica from a couple of kit car manufacturers for a lot less money than the 'continuation' vehicles. Likewise there are a couple od Lancis Stratos replicas which are pretty-much nut and bolt perfect. Some folk think kit cars are bargain basement and poor vehicles - in fact some (particularly Cobra replicas) have suspension and braking systems far superior to the originals. The introduction of SVA/IVA testing many years ago led to very high standards within the kit car industry. My second hobby (after bikes of course) is kit cars.

The kit cars usually are road legal.

The "continuation" cars usually aren't.

I suspect the continuations can be road legal if they are made to pass IVA - this would bypass the need for type approval, but may necessitate changes which 'purists' wouldn't feel comfortable with eg. interior trim which has more 'blunt edges' than the original, or a modern engine with less emissions. Surprisingly there are some areas of IVA (such as exhaust pipe end radius) which seem more stringent than type approval - do they expect a pedestrian to be run over at speed by a reversing vehicle? There are others which are much easier to achieve eg No requirement for airbags, daytime running lights.
