    I know i'm a grumpy old ducker but it grinds my gears when i see modern cars on display at classic shows..90's Mercs and Audi TT's are 10 a penny in most car parks...are these cars really thought of as classics..??....and breathe...:o

    Hi Max Headroom..

    I would tend to agree with you alright, however Pre 99 are seen as Retro vehicles and so forth. For this reason I think they are slowly sneaking in.

    Actually with the start to the day at the show I was very concerned with numbers, I think I would of allowed anything in if it continued lol (joking)

    The two vehicles, I think your referring to is the Merc 94 blue, actually it is owned by an employee of the NCBI who volunteered on the day and was representing the charity.

    Now the TT is my wife's car and she was just dropping something up to me and didnt stay long. I should have removed it from the album :) in my mind future classic like the MX5 fingers crossed the electronics keep up.

    Generally speaking 90's are fairly new but as we age so do they it is crazy to think 1990 was 26 years ago.. and that a 1991 car is seen by insurance as classic and 30yr old vintage roadtax...

    Love your Stag btw..:)...proper classic...
    I'm of the opinion that anything 1980 to 90's is Retro..not classic, the same way i consider 1960 to 80 to be classic, before 1960 its Vintage...these are just my views ..maybe i'm ageist...:o
