All.

This is an example, why Panteras have a bad reputation. Owners only look 
for a quick fix instead of a real repair. That's why these cars fail so 
often !

Is a two hours job too bad to do? Or is a new speedo cable too 
expencive? You guys invest more in your mobile phones than in a classic 
car !
