Practically Classics Forum

Mine is off the road at the moment, so I wasn't able to take it out. But to cheer myself up I gave it a very thorough clean.

Check out Young Guns Classics - it's an online car club for young people who've got (or want) old cars. Big variety in them too; there's a Rover P6 2000SC Auto (which is surprisingly reliable and economical), an Austin 1100, two Spitfires, two MGB GTs, a couple of Land Rovers, MG Midgets, Minis etc...

That's cheap compared to my Jag (rolling on metrics), at £255 a corner. There is only one company that still makes them.

Spend most of my frees at school talking to him about old cars :lol: My DT teacher is also interested in old cars. We were talking at lunch and he said he used to work at a car garage as a teenager and remembers a really wealthy guy leaving a Austin-Healey 3000 with him as it had running problems. ...

Saw a MGB GT Jubilee Edition in the school car park today. And as I found out today, the guy who drives it is my new history teacher. I spent most of the lesson talking to him about classics, and he said that the best car he's ever owned is a red Austin-Healey 3000. http://i839.photobucket.com/album...

This MGB in Norwich yesterday...
