No not something like a Model T

something from the 30's to 70's

was watching that program last night "An MG is Born"
forgot how cool the MG B looks/sounds.. awesome lil car

was thinking that not many young guys drive classic cars, in some movies you see young guys rollin around in some lovely old motors and it looks too cool for school

would you drive (if you could afford to) right now.. something like a DB5/6
a classic Ferrari, MG B V8, Triumph, Chevvy, Dodge, Jag etc etc etc...

i think some of the old cars are class and i would love to drive around in a classic all the time

I'd drive my '70 Herald if it wasn't

a) SORN'ed
b) Liable to break apart
c) Turd brown.

Once I sort that, I'll drive it, want to sort the bodywork and chassis, smooth off the handles, tint the windows, fit koni suspension all round and get some minilites. Already has K&N, fast road cam, 421 manifold, full dual exit s/s system too

stuff like the AC Cobra and GT40 are the stuff of legends.. not really a car that is possible for most people to drive.. but they are both sexy beasts which i think i should own

my old supra, 24yr old one, was a classic...

I'd love another, but can hardly find them for sale!

My RR is a classic too....
