Like Father like Son

Actually like Son like Father.
Hello all. My son (member on here) bought a TS111 earlier this year. I used it for a week while he was on holiday and loved it. Once it became time to get another run around, I found my Coupe. A 2.0 SE Gen 3.5 in Exciting Blue (Seriously?? Is that because it is a literal translation from Korean?) with a genuine 58,000 miles. But I think it may be more than a run around. It really is a great car to drive and they have real visual 'double take' appeal.
I have had Ford Capri's all my life (and still do) but this at least looks like it is in the same vein. Love driving it (and our driveway looks pretty cool when the boy is home).
Thanks
Paul.
