Re: Thank you, your Royal Highness!

I reckon Prince William has done more for the classic movement in one small drive down the mall in an Aston Martin than any amount of Drive It Days or other hype. I must invite him to our next show... What a beautiful car, and what a lovely way to display it. http://i240.photobucket.com/albums/ff20...

Re: What constitutes a classic?

Please see above, Luxo- I have edited my post on "opinions".

All "opinions" are clearly NOT equal and clearly NOT equally valid.

And this argument ceases to be a subjective issue if one logic to proper facts.

Re: What constitutes a classic?

Sorry, Luxo, but you don't know what you are talking about as regards the Porsche 944! Are you blind? I made the word "Opinion" as easy to see as possible, yet you still seem to have missed it. It's my opinion, not a fact, just an opinion, and as such cannot be said to be wrong. I find your attitud...

Re: What constitutes a classic?

I agree re the boredom, zzzzzz’s and general despair at this thread but couldn’t resist taking the bait on this spectacular pile of delusion. But not having the time or patience to trawl through every point I would like to pick up on a couple of the points.... I would like to re-state the simple fo...

Re: What constitutes a classic?

Wasn't the 944 the one that tried to replace the 911 and failed anyway? No, that was the 928. Never seen anything particularly special about the 944 myself, but that's just an opinion!!! As is everything else on this thread. ;) ;) Sorry, Luxo, but you don't know what you are talking about as regard...

Re: What constitutes a classic?

Morrisman, I think you're right that "old" does not automatically equal "classic", but your definition of greatness is, as far as I can tell, limited. From your comments elsewhere I gather you're not a fan of Eastern European stuff - which is fair enough - and I appreciate that in purely mechanical...

Re: What constitutes a classic?

Classic-ness is most definately in the eye of the beholder- show a Minor to the average Focus driver or Mrs Rusty who has no interest at all in old draughty and rattly cars and they would say yes that's a classic car, no argument, show them a 944 and I suspect they would say that's most definately ...

Re: What constitutes a classic?

I've got that,but I prefer the dubstep mix. :lol: Old does not = classic. Old + Great does = classic. A classic car has also to be a great car in it's time to be a great car when it is old. I'm still trying to work out if thousands of MGB owners are barking up the wrong tree. No, the MGB was clearl...

For it matters not that it hath survived 27 years in as new condition,manages to obtain 50+ mpg on a recent economy run,can happily be pre...
