Default Re: Help please: What’s wrong getting a BA over an AU?

I have a AU and a BF in the stable. The BF is light years ahead of the AU in every single way. AU is embarrassingly slow (I get smashed by hairdresser cars every day) , unrefined and inefficient in comparison. It was made for another era. BA/F whilst not current, more resembles a car made for this century as far as refinement and handling are concerned. AU is more like a rickshaw. The Barra engine is much sweeter than the wheezy lump in the AU. Its much much harder to find a good AU these days. Most are knackered and ready for the crushers. Plenty of nice clean BA's around (plenty of rubbish too mind you).

AU has more character. I can't bring myself to say better looking. They're frakin ugly as a crushed crab, but I have a soft spot for them. I like them both but for different reasons. AU feels a little stronger and much much less to go wrong with it, just as you;d expect from a rickshaw :-)
