Re: Tools

+1`for halfrauds professional

Re: What classic vehicles have you seen?

This morning on the way in I spotted a tidy enough looking Reliant Kitten (think plastic pig with a wheel on each corner)

Just got back from lunch and a very nice Derby Bentley convertible? was smoking through downtown Langley.

Re: What constitutes a classic?

I agree re the boredom, zzzzzz’s and general despair at this thread but couldn’t resist taking the bait on this spectacular pile of delusion. But not having the time or patience to trawl through every point I would like to pick up on a couple of the points....

Re: What constitutes a classic?

Re: Does anyone else think Drive It day is stupid?

Glad to see i'm not the only one using a RR as their daily driver :D (on top of fuel costs you need to have a big budget for welding! ;) )

Not if you spent a couple of months hunting down a 43k one owner minter ;)

Re: Does anyone else think Drive It day is stupid?

Drive it day, couldn't caree less really :o

Went out last year, forgot about it this year, don't really understand the fuss tbh ;)
