It does.
A friend had one back in the day, and I really wanted one - still do! I don't like the modern BMWs nearly as much - they've lost the simplicity that made them so easy to work on at home.
I like the shape and design, it's the colour scheme that puts me right off.

Don’t like the bark busters

Dear Santa - I've been REALLY good this year! I love that look.
