Before I was into Sevens I thought about buying a Speedster. Thanks to an idiot at my local Opel dealership it didn't happen.
When I phoned him about wanting a test drive (it was January) he answered in a very rude manner "These cars aren't driven during the winter!" Had he said "Sorry, currently we don't have a car available. If you'd be so kind and come back in March we surely can do something for you" I would have understood that.
Shortly afterwards I read a report about a Seven replica in my favourite car magazine and that was it. One month later I had one.
