**Funny story about the DeTomaso. A mate had one, 'bout a million years
ago 
(ca. 1980). He wandered down to the NRMA office for something and casually

asked how much to comprehensively insure his Panterra (not expecting any 
sane answer). The girl behind the counter was about to tell him where to
go, 
when she looked up the rates for him. Same price as a Toyota Celica. The 
Panterra is long gone, but is still one of his favourite cars. The bastard

now lives in the US and has a 2007 Corvette.
