Re: Retiring Abroad
1./ Investments......most are too good to be true, and usually are. Pensions being one of them. Why give someone you've never heard of , 30% of your earnings to invest for a rainy day? They get 10% and give you 1% back.......and your money is trapped.......I could go on ! A small chateau in France o...

Re: Lack of respect, Bro
Take a journalists input with a pinch of salt. Most can only quote from previous articles written 20/40 years ago, not from personal experience. But, unless you own the car for months...how can you be qualified to write about it ? This is exactly where all the MPG nonsense comes from...........but i...

Re: Classic cars on the road
I'll second that ! A proper drive.
Love my Cerbera V8......No gizzmo's ....nothing. You drive the car instead of the car being in control. Bliss !
But, that's why there are so few left !

Re: Richard Hammonds new TV show
Maybe the words ''TV SHOW'' says it all.......condensing 2/3000 man hours into 30 minutes, or ''restored in 60 seconds''. Before we know it, Hammond will know everything, and those of us that have been doing it for 40 years know nothing ! Same old TV fodder. I thought Brewster and his team was insul...

Re: New Electric Ford Mustang
I would place a side bet that hydrogen for motor vehicle transportation use will not happen. The cost, and the length of time it takes to compress the gas, not to mention the size and weight of the tank will outweigh any savings. Not to mention the safety aspect. A 40 vehicle pile-up in fog, all run...

Re: Jensen 541R for sale at DVCA thus Thursday 20/05/2021
If the car is in a good condition.....not a bad price estimate.?? Put it back to original with a DS5 motor and a Moss 'box, would make a nice 541. BUT, the all important area is the chassis....as we all know on the 541 Forum !

Re: New Electric Ford Mustang
Too much, too far, too fast, all by politicians and Greens who don't know what they are getting into, even on a good day. Same as many people in business, I use my Ranger for towing a 4 wheel box trailer with up to 2 tons of car in the back. What range will an electric Ranger have doing just that. A...

Re: Restomod C-V8 on Retropower
Good luck to the person who is paying the bill for it all, after all. If he enjoys it and drives the wheels off it 'till it drops to pieces, then fair enough. The problem comes when some of these guys bale out after a few years, only to find no-one wants it.......it's a one-off, and no resemblance t...

Re: ads that won't work today
Should we be worried about the build up of wheel ants ?......or is this a case of ''only in America'' ?
