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!)

While looking for somewhere (read completley lost) in Rural Oxfordshire i passed a garage with 2 morris minor vans, 2 miles further down the road another garage with a morris minor rag top and a mini.
Driving around a marina (or an ital, i can never remember what the difference is) 2 MGBs, A35 (possibly an A30), Triumph Stag, Mk2 Escort, early Saab 900

Modern but interesting(ish) stuff, a couple of aston martin DB9s a Vantage, Ferrari 612 and a Lotus Exiege.

A red MG T Type drove past this morning. I think it was a TD but I didn't get a good look. It wasn't cr*pping down at the time, so let's hope he got it under cover before it started once more :twisted: :twisted: . Poxy Pigjune :!: No wonder they say flaming June; I could think of another word beginning with F :!:

Not a bad looking late '60s loaf there, but WTF is up with those side steps? They should be attached to a modern Toyosanubishi Testosterone special like this one:

Yob truck is less of a mouthfull ;) I think the VW could be a Devon conversion, not that they fitted those steps, that I hadn't noticed :!:
