Is There A Sudden Fad for Classic Cars Amongst The Membership?

[mustang1]

Back in the seventies I got a mini cab home from central London and it was one of those. An unbelievably smooth ride, it was like floating along on a cushion of air.

Must have been rubbish on the nurbugring though which is where companies seem to test their luxury cars these days (silly idea).

A "pound a gallon" l've come over all wistful not to say nostalgic for such archaic means of calculation. Litres, Kms , cm and metres not to mention euros just don't cut the mustard poetically speaking

When they moved from pounds per gallon to pounds per litre, didn't t they bump the price right up and hope no one noticed?

Must be retirement or equity release...... If I were to have a classic car, it'd be this one for ultimate posing. Yeah, OK, but the show was in 1982, so must be 'classic' by now.

Tasteless l would agree with, provocative certainly, vandalism undoubtably but "offensive" ,perhaps bit harsh ?

Hopefully the real one!!
Not the pretender, in the remakes?

Although.... I presume you did notice Lynda (Wonder Woman) Carter in it?
