breakdown truck

Got something to say, but it's not classic related? Here's the place to discuss. Also includes the once ever-so-popular word association thread... (although we've had to start from scratch with it - sorry!)

what do you think of this? apparently its very rusty & needs an engine rebuild, valve burnt out so its a bit sickly
i cant see what the wood is like, but i can always ask.

The Ami is one of those cars I am never sure if I like or not. They are quirky and unusual but not really something I would have on the drive way and smile when I walked past it.

That looks like a nice project for someone. Is it really worth €22k in that condition?!?!

Rich, do you spend your time searching for "rust" on the French, car selling forum? ;)
That T-Bird would look good sitting on my driveway. It's just as well I can't afford all the cars I would like or I would need an aircraft hanger to keep them in!
