Today I saw a classic and took a pic thread!

mike65 · 2005-05-16 17:32:10

Another bloody stickie! If you spot a classic and take a shot please put it here rather than start a fresh thread. I'll start, I spotted this Lotus Elan parked in Catherine Street here in Waterford. Had'nt seen it before. Today I also saw 2 Silver Clouds, and 2 Jenson Interceptors but they were moving and so was I :D Mike.

Did you get the details? I think he's referring to Malex motors, they're quite good but before you decide read my last posting on http://www.boards.ie/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=2054895110&highlight=malex

You asked me before to give you details of my mechanic, I didn't forget! However he's just some retired Merc enthusiast who's also a mechanic. I asked him could I refer him on and he asked me not to unfortunately - sorry about that.

I had a great time with the neighbours popular back in the 60's. I was facinated by the semaphore indicators and used to try and get them working when the car was parked - sure it was only a matter of getting a screwdriver and forcing them out.:o

He was so frustrated he bought a brand new popular - that one had the 'modern' indicators.:mad:

That'll be a Subaru Signet

But seriously, maybe an NSU Prinz?

“And my existence, while grotesque and incomprehensible to you, generates funds to the exchequer. You don't want to acknowledge that as truth because, deep down in places you don't talk about at the Green Party, you want me on that road, you need me on that road. We use words like freedom, enjoyment, sport and community. We use these words as the backbone of a life spent instilling those values in our families and loved ones. You use them as a punch line. I have neither the time nor the inclination to explain myself to a man who rises and sleeps under the tax revenue and the very freedom to spend it that I provide, and then questions the manner in which I provide it. I would rather you just said "thank you" and went on your way. Otherwise I suggest you pick up a bus pass and get the ********* ********* off the road”
