Here's the place to chat about all things classic. Also includes a feedback forum where you can communicate directly with the editorial team - don't hold back, they'd love to know what they're doing right (or wrong of course!)
Today Ive seen an E-type series 1 4.2 fhc, and a chevrolet engined 427 Cobra replica
“It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena"
Just on the grounds of two places I've been today,
Hillman Minx 2 off
3 classic minis
Austin 1300GT
Several Series landrovers
Mark 3 cortina
Mark 2 cortina
Rover p2
2 door Range Rover classic
Siera XR4i
Various old tractors from DB cropmaster through ford
All in various states of repair from gleaming through to crumbling
One of the minis though which was rather the worse for wear and due to go to the scrapman found itself on its side and is now minus front subframe, engine and box
Have you forgotten that once we were brought here we were robbed of our names,robbed of our language,we lost our religion,our culture,our God? And many of us by the way we act,we even lost our minds.
We have a classic car dealer in our village. They currently have rally spec mk1 Escort, and Rover P6 and a mk2 Jag (all mint) in thier showroom. Local cars I see almost daily:- 3 Morris Minors, 2 MGB GTs, Citroen 2CV, Fiat 500 and another 60's Fiat (I haven't identified the model), Vauxhall Chevette, Mk1 Escort Mexico, Pre war Austin (not sure what type), Austin Seven, Ford Pop V8 Hotrod, 80's Ford Mustang convertible, 2 Minis, VW split screen camper, mk1 Granada and Wolsley 1500. It's a great to see so many old cars being used. Whilst I particularly like Minors and MGs, I am always pleased to see the mk1 Granada. She's a bit battered and the paint is dull but I prefer a classic to look old.
I saw a spotless P6 today being driven by a man who must of been a million years old, he looked lost i think he was looking for woolies the trimmers.(he was 10 meters away.!)
