What classic vehicles have you seen?

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!)

Went to get some paint in Swanborough today at Autopaints Plus , lovely smelly cellulose too ! Saw a gold MK5 Cortina Ghia in the village (we looked at each others cars in surprise !!) Coming home ...a Renault 4 in Crowborough Hill . Went to the new meet in Madeira Drive tonight , down in Brighton... Great company... lots of nice cars .. Glad i bought some paint , the mismatch on my door really bugs me . No one said "Oh, your door's a darker yellow though !!"
Here's a pic from tonight ...

:? Resize itself? Why do that, I could see it perfectly by scrolling sideways on this 4" phone screen so on most modern, 16:9 monitors it will be visible in its entirety.

:idea: Methinks that you're using the default theme, that does weird stuff to pictures and by changing to subsilver2, you'll be able to see the whole thing, regardless of your screen resolution. ;)

Not a pc whizz me... If i upload a big file picture into my photo bucket and resize them for forum use, when you post them they come out "cropped " for about 20 minutes ....then they kinda zoom out ...and the whole frame appears ..Last night all i could see was the 2 Panhards and the fiesta , now i can see the whole line of cars .. :)

although they are not classic.
The magazine might not agree there, the current edition has a feature on the cars from the Pike factory such as that Fagaro and while they may still provoke some debate, you've also shown us pictures of Escorts and at least one Corsa-A recently, so of those, possibly the Pike cars are closer to "Classicdom". ;)
