Peter,
of course we won't find two people with exactly the same meaning regarding the most desirable or sensible form of historic motorsport. Especially when one practices one class, the other a different one. And without doubt each of the 3 classes we are discussing (although F3 seems to be "out of the race" for most of you) has its advantages and its disadvantages.
But I appreciate the various points of view a lot, and try to pull out the best for me, in order to make up my mind.
I will try to talk with the Envoy owner this weekend.
Mentioning the back tax, I absolutely didn't want to show-off. Actually it is the back tax for 2004, plus the deficit of the too-low advance payments for 2005 and the first quarter of 2006. This adds up to a crazy sum, which I didn't expect. My fault, of course. Again, I didn't want to sound like a boaster. It was just that I thought I had some spare money for a "boys toy", and now it's no longer as much as I thought.
In the meantime, I will keep looking for various cars on offer, and in any case I will stick to an early, cigar-shaped, tube frame car. Philippe also kindly provided some hints on interesting cars for sale. I will let you know how things are going on!
