I know enough idiots that think if they buy vintage cars, i.e. Camaros, Mustangs, E30 M3, 964 and 993 porsches they instantly have good taste.

I agree vintage cars have a certain appeal and style that new cars cannot match. However with the style comes a shitty car to drive compared to modern cars and you need a mechanic living at your house.

Driving classic cars is becoming too trendy....buy and drive whatever appeals to you....personally, I like to look and admire classic cars...but I rather own current technology......

+1, I saw that episode too haha. Robert is my least favourite dragon on the show (well, tie with Arlene). He almost never makes a deal in the episodes I've watched and he just slags on the guys. At least Kevin is funny when he slags on the guys :lol Also, once in awhile, all the other dragons will occasionally make a "charity" deal (e.g. to little kids), but I've never seen Robert do that. Brett seems like the nicest guy, but I think Jim seems like a pretty honest and funny guy too

What about a classic with modern technology?
I agree that driving Classics has become trendy, but the bottom line is that there are only so many old cars out there. Unlike a modern car, not just any chump can walk in and buy a 54' Vette. It does take a commitment of time, money, and skill to make a classic work well, and that's what makes them special. They NEED work, unlike a modern car with it's warranty and clean service dep't.

For the record, driving a hybrid is the new hotness. Imports, domestics, and classic cars almost seem to be frowned upon these days.

Robert has made a number of "loans" as deals rather than take equity, you need to watch more episodes. He has wanted to quit before yet the show and other Dragon's asked him to stay cause he's one of the most vocal and enthusiastic of the Dragons. You'll notice he participates in more demos than any other Dragon.

Kevin has never made a charity deal, other than to buy a single product rather than invest. I actually enjoy watching Kevin on the Lang and O'Leary exchange more than Dragon's Den.

Bret was by far my favourite, sad to see him go. Yet he and Kevin have sorta the same business background, so not much different to offer candidates. The Lavalife replacement will have a very different background from the other 4 and may make for interesting deals - kinda like Kevin (shopping channel) and Damon (FUBU) on Shark Tank have hugely different business backgrounds from the other Dragons - adds some much needed flavour.

Jim is my least favourite. He doesn't make a lot of deals, and seems to always want a high % or else backs out. His lack of risk taking without control makes him very uninteresting to watch.

Lets hope for more sports car hybrids like Porsche is doing. Electric engines have 100% torque at low rpms, so electric should make for some wicked 0-60 times as the technology gets better.

I watched the Tesla test on Top Gear again last night and was reminded of how fast those cars are at 12,000rpm with a single gear.

Amazing!
