Practically Classics Forum

Afternoon all, I hope everyone is well!

My name's Luke and in essence, the world of classic cars is one I know very little about!

Having not experienced them through family members and being in my mid 20's living in London where new, big and/or electric seems to be all that is on the menu; it's something I'm really interested to learn more about. I have a small youtube channel where I've made a video starting to document what I'm learning, (link below), but ultimately I'd really love to hear any suggestions on where I could go, what I could do or who I could talk to that would help me learn a little bit more!

Any feedback would also be greatly appreciated!

My advice would be to visit as many classic car shows as you can and talk to the owners of any vehicles that take your fancy. Most owners love to talk about their vehicles, so you can learn a lot and have a few enjoyable days out into the bargain.

Welcome! Pete is right about car shows 99% of people will love to chat about their cars.. if you're in the forest of Dean on Easter Monday its the Coleford festival of transport. Lovely little show friendly atmosphere with great people..
