Very much so, though you can't forget that without these older cars, we wouldn't have such fast modern machines.

Usually, the older stuff is nicer to admire than it is to drive.

I agree Ben, but also I was trying to do a joke based on Davey's spelling of 'loose'

Shame it had previously been smashed up, atleast now we know why it feels a bit loose

Looks like it's had a half decent rebuild now though and looks semi straight

I can't see anything that resembles a shanty town there

Haven't you offered him some lint from your pocket and 50p yet?

It was Tig that got it in the first place and offered it to me for £10.5k which would have been a bargain but I want LC ownership to remain a rose tinted memory
