Is it just me, or are you two bonkers?
Strange choices! Got no idea what I'd choose. Of the modern stuff I'm very taken by Audi TTs. Old stuff -dunno. Too much to choose from!

I had a Tonka toy truck when I was 5 but wouldn't want one now. That Honda Insane reminds me of those cool 50s Citroens with the hydraulic suspension & stuff. Can't remember what they were called.

Before my time!  I used to drive up to Oxford quite a lot on Sunday mornings & stroll along the canal path. Very tranquil -until they built a load of new housing there. Used to be a workshop backing onto the canal that specialised in those. Dozens of 'em in various states of repair. Always thought they were gorgeous looking things. A few old Brit motors in the Street Cars section for you Borgy. |

Certainly Sir. I pity the Postie who has to lug it up your path though. How's he gonna get that through your letterbox?
I love seeing old or quirky motors being driven, out on the streets where they belong. Was on the motorway a while ago & passed a Dodge Charger General Lee replica towing one of those 50s polished ally Streamliner caravans. Didn't have my camera unfortunately. Plenty of room for old bike & car photos if you want to send any in.

Whoo hoo! Yeah that's a nice sensible motor to do the weekly run to Asda in! Love the pipes. From the first Mad Max film?

There's a Ford FairLANE a few miles down the road from here at Valley Gas speed shop, (dealer profile soon). That's a very cool, boxy looking motor, but never heard of a FairMONT. I think you've just made that up!  |
