Years ago i had a big Yank interest but when i went to a Birmingham Dealer they were not in very good condition just flash resprays. Put me of the idea and the parts. Insurance to. What got me really going was admiring an older mans Trans. 6.6 and not him and his suit. He said someone like you could not afford the fuel. Not ever forgot his mouth. Another was a very rude Insurance Broker also in a suit when young went in the office to cover my MK3 Yellow Cortina 2000 GT. All he said first was get out the shop a young man like you is waisting my time. Answer back i would not have waisted my time driving here in it for fun and went to another shop.He saw us drive of in it and lost a customer. The one on this CHECK your insurance before you buy the cars.

Do they come with a good music box them red ones with a me-car-no spoiler. You also need to save up for a set of new tyres for it to. Its great to buy a mini 1000 and drop in a mg metro 13 lump in it.
Not really a 'chavy' type set of wheels those Nobles Dave, think a burberry clad laddo would poo himself with more power than a 1.1 nova. That spoiler actually has some use, and you wouldnt need a nightclub in the boot with a sound that produces from the rear end.
If i had to chose a classic it would have to be either a Mustang, Barracuda Hemi or a corvette

I do like the Mustangs and love the old C vets.Never had a yank car myself. My work mate had a Javlin that was a car. I wanted the black trans. 6.6 gold eagle but never got one. Made a call about interesting collectors cars today all i have found is a 1997 V.W POLO MK4 OPEN AIR they are rare if any collector wants one tell me. Its not mine and no add just saw it in Solihull on a drive. The man nows what it is. Its still cheap.

And we have a winner. Adrian flux has quoted me £275 a year to insure a ford pop hot rod with a rover v8 3.5 with power up to 300bhp or if i choose to take it to 350bhp the insurance is £310
i nearly asked the women on the phone to marry me when she gave me that quote.
