Because old cars have a romantic charm, a character that new cars don't. And they normally sound ace.

Second pic down has it all. Everything from the Mini to saloons to coupes. And they're pretty much exactly how they were found on the roads.

Just looks far more impressive than modern BTCC. There is a classic touring car thng isn't there?

BTCC in the 90s ftw. I remember going to watch it at Sliverstone and Donington as a kid.

Loved it, seeing the Volvo estates spitting flames on the start line at Silverstone is something that will always stick in my mind

Get used to your Dakar spec 90 first

It's a DAF, Jim, but not as we know it.

Except the accident of course.

Have to admit though, I was half expecting to open a page filled with the images of Panzers racing troop carriers into Poland.

I saw a DAF V8 and Cholmondley Pageant of Power yesterday. Loud!
