August Practical Classics Magazine

Post pictures and stories about your cars both present and past. Also post up "blogs" on your restoration projects - the more pictures the better! Note: blog-type threads often get few replies, but are often read by many members, and provide interest and motivation to other enthusiasts so don't be disappointed if you don't get many replies.

Meanwhile, in the extremely unlikely event that the two whingeing badstarts in question have the cahones to voice their reasons for such disapproval of this kind of exciting, hardcore petrol (yes, and Diesel) fetishism in this publicly accessible web forum, I'd feel privileged and probably quite humbled to discover why they felt it necessary to object.

We are just playing OCN. We have no evidence of the reasoning behind PCs decision. Just with the way Bauer run their business it sounded logical.
