the blue was a bit too much this is better! :-D

Mick, I totally agree, regarding the articles on modern vehicles, how can these be classics? If a classic car magazine started filling its pages with the latest from the Detroit and Turin Motor Shows the readers would react. I have actaully stopped buying the two mags now, unless thee is an article of particular interest in there. As a coincidence, I have just been going through some Wheels & Tracks mags looking for some info and have to say that they had it right, just a little on modern kit but the bulk on collectors pieces....and the information was spot on, unlike some of the newer mags, with glaring mistakes in them. Just read the latest MVT Windscreen mag and it is by far a better read. My thoughts. Richard hi all, just one question,how old does a vehicle have to be to be classed as a classic in your eyes, 20 ,30 ,40, 50,or 60 years old . as i rememder a car is a classic if over 25 years old!at some shows you could get in if it wasn't in production any more. personally i find that most of the articles are about wartime vehicles, jeeps etc not that i'm complaining as i'm interested in all military vehicles but i do get annoyed by owners who won't even give you the time of day if you haven't a wartime vehicle and look down their nose at you,but this is my personal opinion.as for the people who write these articles i say well done at least you want to share some knowledge even if you sometimes get it wrong.so all i can say is if you can do better then do so, as its far easier to critisize than to put yourself in the firing line!

have you got rid of your panda eyes yet? :wink: :lol: :lol:
