Re: Thoughts on old cars with new engines

Re: Thoughts on old cars with new engines
Personal opinion? As a very last resort, ie where the original engine is missing or worn beyond repair and no similar models are available, then as an alternative to scrapping the car I'd allow it - but it would always be a botch.

Re: PC and direct debits
I wonder what happened to the cars that were given out as prizes that year ,any body know? Which ones? There are so many cars in each issue now I've completely lost touch with what cars each staff member owns, which ones they've sold, are working on or are driving. Every magazine they find their dr...
