Met a guy yesterday who didn't plan that... but it's what's happened...
An old car dealer from way back, retired in 1992. His wife died three or four years ago, so he's been steadily increasing his collection of cars to fill the void.
Yesterday he took me for a run in this one:
Of course, it is an inline engine, so it qualifies:
But not all of his cars are. He has three or four Mercedes models (250CE, 280SE and CLK that I can think of), but a couple of Fords have V8s in them.
All the same, the enjoyment he gets out of these cars and club activities with the cars are making his life less unfulfilled than when he was first widowed.
