History lesson:

"Vintage" relates to cars from the period 1919 to 1930. It's a shame that the media refer to more recent cars as vintage thereby encouraging others to do likewise.

Triumph TR6 (1969) and Stag (1970) came much later than the Spitfire (1962) which was based on the Triumph Herald, which is therefore "The Daddy".

Personally, I would rather have a GT6 than a Spitfire.

I'm at that scary age when normal cars are verging on at least modern classic status.

My mate has an M reg Granada Cosworth mothballed, he bought it nearly new, other cars have come and gone, but the big Cossie has remained.

Personally I'd love a Cavalier Turbo in the garage. I seen a Mk3 Cavalier SRi saloon on the M8 the other day and it still cuts the mustard as a motorway munching repbox, it has aged very well indeed :)

It was at its best last Saturday banjo. Summer type weather and good food outside the pub. Mind you the drive there and back from Sandyhills was more than I would have asked for, but never mind :D

Not sure if this counts

Apologies that it was rather hurriedly shot...................note to self........could do better

http://youtu.be/VlNrpMSl524

If it shows again (its been there a couple of times) I'm going to wait for the owner to see if he'll let me shoot the cab, engine bay and maybe a shot of it moving it away.
