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!)

Thanks for the instructions, which I have copied to the Flickr password file.

As I have so many photos on this occasion, I have left them all on Flickr, rather than take up pages on the forum. Just to confirm, could everyone see the photos in Flickr from the link? They were all posted for public viewing and even when I am not logged into Flickr, have been visible to me.

When that link is clicked, this comes up on screen:

And when the "View user's images" link on that page is clicked, my own flickR homepage comes up, like so:

I set it to the favourites page for that as the default (photostream) page shows followers' details and album covers that I'd just as soon keep private, but neither link leads to your photostream, images, favourites or creations pages. OK, so if they're not set to private then could they be set to invite only? :? Can't think of anything else and others' flickR accounts are visible in all of their gruesome detail so it's not my browser.

The link works fine for me, I see lots of pictures of classic cars, including at the top a mustard coloured MGB GT which I rpesume is Martin's V8?

John - can we please discuss classic cars, and not turn this into yet another thread about why your PC doesn't do what everybody else's does? Thanks! ;)

I saw an Austin 1800 landcrab van , metallic green , on Boars Head roundabout ,going towards Tunbridge Wells . Could it have been a converted hearse? Didn't they get the van 1800 down under?

I can't help but think that they make an attractive van:

Or is that one from the NEC show last year a converted hearse? Either way, what's not to like about that lovely thing? :thumbs:

far too many. most driving past me in opposite direction though many are laid up in front drives etc rusting peacefully. last one was an MGB in green on A1306 dagenham as I passed it doing a graceful 60mph.
otherwise I have to behave as wife hates me suddenly pointing out almost everyday an classic car going around. sadly nearly all doing better than my old rover p6 which is once again off road..sigh

Didn't actually see them but this arrived via an online newsletter http://www.thesportscoupe.com/tsc_pictu ... 284&blad=1. I haven't been to London for best part of twenty years but I like these Veteran cars. They have a class for Edwardian cars at VSCC meetings and I always make a point of having a look at them. When I went to Beaulieu (For the first time on over forty years), one of the first cars I went looking for, was the Itala. This time the camera worked :D :!:
