That sounds unfortunate. Probably best to wash it out thoroughly and hope it doesn't get infected.

As to car choice, it's an impossible one to advise on. I toyed for ages with whether to buy a FSTi or a XT with PPP. The people I spoke to made good cases for why each was a good purchase.

In the end, I found a cracking deal on a XT with PPP, but just didn't want to buy it when it came to the crunch. So here I am having owned the FSTi for five years.

The experience with the classic you've just had shows (at least) two things to me. Firstly that the car captured your heart, as you are pissed off with what happened and the things you did and had planned for it were well thought through. Secondly, it was nothing to do with the choice of car that brought about the bad situation; that was bad luck with the car itself and worse luck with the people you had to deal with.

For those reasons, there's nothing to tell me you shouldn't get another classic.

Like I say though, you'll only know when it's time to buy one I suspect!
