This year, there was an exhibition of classic cars during "le mondial de
l'automobile 2006" in Paris.
It was called "l'incroyable collection" ! And, it was.... incredible !!  ;-)
I just add on my website about 30 photos of this show :

According to google's calculator, my average petrol consumption is

I have a model #880 Ammco brake shoe grinder and need to find a
supplier of the abrasive belts.  I have contacted Ammco and the parts
person did not have any information on the product at all.  I have done
all sorts of searches on the web have found nothing.  Maybe someone out

Well, we set off 9pm Wednesday night from Wycombe, arrived in Athens about
3pm local time today! 4 am start from Calais, non-stop to Ancona in about 17
hours total driving time, average 55mph.
Adrian - you were right. It pissed down all the way from Reims to Ancona. We

Has anyone here got one of our favourite cars, the Austin 1100/1300 ?
What have you got?

I am thinking of laying up my 1981 Ford Minster Limousine for the winter.  I
can either leave it out in the cold with a breathable cover over it or put
it in the leaky damp garage.
Which is better do you think?  Is it better off outside where it has air

Still got TAX on it, nice clean engine and body, missing on one pot at
the moment but assured it's plugs and leads.
May be useful for a Trike Project :)
£150 no offers sorry

I can just about remember in the '50s my father - who sold trucks -
driving Albion chassis from Glasgow where they were built to Aberdeen for
a special body to be fitted. Just a bare chassis - no cab or even

I'm driving a DRK Trojan 3 wheeler Morgan rep out to Athens next week. It

A few weeks ago at the end of a vintage show/working day, a gentleman
briefly chatted to me about the brass carb that was on my stationary
engine as it was the same as on his car. His carb was not jetted
correctly and had a flat-spot. He had some carb spares and had tried

I'm particularly interested in cars made before about 1950 and am
wondering if there are any magazines published that cover this period.
I'm aware of those you can get from W.H.Smiths but what I'm wondering
is are there any subscription only magazines rather like Old Motor of

One of the fixed rear windows on my SD1 is leaking and I'm hoping to sort
it properly, which will mean removing it and checking the condition of the
paint etc behind the rubber. It's mounted in a conventional rubber seal
which appears to be in good condition although of course it ...

As a first post I thought I'd let you know two things. First off, I'm a
total classic newbie. I really have no idea at all about how a car works, or
about how to restore it (But I am really eager to learn!)
Second of all, I love VW beetles. I've always thought that classic cars have
