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!)
That's the whole point of a loud stereo. Gearbox whine? Big end knock? Wheel bearing grumble? All fixed with the judicious application of 600 watt Jon Spencer Blues Explosion.

Works for me. Brilliant choice. Classic? Hell yeah.
If I had such serious tune-making kit in the Dolly, I think that Captain Beefheart would have to be somewhere in there too, in among the Rock Steady, ska and classic reggae tunes that occupy the other end of my personal spectrum of taste.
But hey-ho, my '70s Sharp radio/cassette player - top of the range, it's even got that newfangled VHF/FM band - is still sitting on the kitchen table waiting patiently for its turn at the top of the car-related to do list.

J "Home is where you park it", so the saying goes. That may yet come true..

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.

There has been a royal outcry from some of the clubs/forums about it, but at least it is a hard-and-fast rule everyone can understand. [/b]
I come up against this a few times over here where they only want pre '72 on the same basis - to me it seems a bit unfair to not let in my 1977 Stag but I suppose there has to be some sort of cut off

I shall replace it with a front-engined Porker and together we can live in our compound and preach to the great unwashed,and bask in the praise of Allah! the almighty one.
Death to all infidels who dare drive Allegros!
Respec'd
Wasn't the 944 the one that tried to replace the 911 and failed anyway?

Mrotwoman I have some real sad news - speaking to Mr Scrappy R Us on your behalf and he states that the UK Meastro quota for scrappage is over subscribed and the EU is threating to come down hard on the UK goverment if another single Meastro is scrapped - I'm affraid you are going to have to keep it and more to the point use it caus the EU are also threating the Goverment with harsh penalities if Maestro's are not seen on UK roads more frequantly!! - Please make sure it is kept clean and polished so that all it's lovely 'beigeness' shines through and save the taxpayer another massive EU fine.
On the other hand Mr Scrappy R Us informed us that in order to fulfill the German goverments policy of we want our metal back - he has a entire empty row awaiting for the scrapping of any 70 & 80's german built prentence rubbish motors (my opinion) - please feel free to rubbish all German motors that fall into this catogory hence forth, this will hopefully shame such owners into scrappage.
