Not so extreme, those guys are in a different league than us. My
brother-in-law spent a couple hundred grand restoring his 30's Lagonda
roadster, and as much on several other cars. My sister ain't so happy, he'd
rather spend the money on his cars, not her (ha-ha).
Our roadsters won't even get a glance from my brother-in-law. I don't know
how Les can make a living restoring Datsuns for what he charges! Of course
money is probably not what drives him, it's gotta be the passion.
