Each to his own. My view is it's my car and I will do what I want with it.
Fortunately Bristol don't share your opinion either, otherwise the very much modernised S6 wouldn't exist.
As for the chip cutter A/C, it was a bolt on optional extra in the 603 and an ugly one at that. In fact when Bristol started using it all other manufacturers were moving to to integrated air con. The fact that it was still being used in the Blenheim is a disgrace. I MCO |
