Hi all! We have been experiencing an issue on site where threads have been missing the latest postings. The platform host Vanilla are working on this issue. A workaround that has been used by some is to navigate back from 1 to 10+ pages to re-sync the thread and this will then show the latest posts. Thanks, Mike.

    Excellent show...was great to see some of the oldies on the roads & in use rather than just admiring in mags etc. & also what the roads/areas/landscape used to look like. The double edged sword....cars opened up the countryside to regular Joe Bloggs..& in turn the roads to cater for the cars destroyed the countryside.. (not starting a debate but can understand the arguement; all relative)

    Discovery Turbo had two back-to-back shows called "Classic Car Club" last night about 10pm/10:30pm.

    They 'test drove' classics such as the SM, E-Type, the Merc SL and Fiat 124 Spider (yay x2!).

    I see there's more on tonight and tomorrow - see listings. :)
