Classic car show C5

Yes I know it’s not truck related but there’s some proper cars on there worth millions, just watched it on catch up Channel 5 Thursday’s with Tiff and my next Wife Jodie Kidd, some cars do sound like a good investment.

classic or not,if it involves lambos or Ferraris or any other sports car it don’t float my boat,lets face it when these programmes say classic car show it usually involves these type of vehicles,far as I am concerned classic cars mean Mk2 jags,fords,and others like that,thats my idea of classic cars,i was once accused of being jealous because I said I hate Porsche cars,i replied if I was lucky enough to win the lotto the next day[sat] I still would not buy one,my opinion I know but I just do not like sports cars of any type,i am a big car man,something like a 7 series BMW, now that’s a car

Yep sorry my mistake :blush: too busy gawking at Jodie Kidd.

I suppose sports cars might not float everyone boat, but I’ve been messing round with classic and prestige cars for over 20 years and the type of car isn’t really the issue, it the actual car itself, some are just design classics, some are engineering masterpieces, some are just so mad it makes them great, normally the passion of a great but deranged designer/manufacturer and other have a place in history either as a car of the people or just personal maybe because it’s a car you dad drove when you were a kid or in the case of the Porsche 910 we have at work the car that started the owners love of cars, when he was a kid. He now runs a string of restaurants and this is what he promised himself when he was successful.

My favourite car we had was a JPS Lotus 72, it was the model racing car from my childhood and having it in the workshop brought back that magic, and seeing it being striped down and seeing the engineering underneath just made it even better, it was riveted aluminium, just like a jet fighter of the period.

I was lucky enough to drive a customers e type, it didn’t disappoint, it felt as I always hoped it would and sounded just perfect, sadly I can’t say the same thing for the Jenson Interceptor, that just felt like a baby built kit car.

or any other sports car it don’t float my boat,

i think if truckman020 was to drive an e type, his boat would then be able to sail :smiley:

Funny you should say that, the reason I got to drive it was that the bloke who owned the restoration company was well over 6ft and there was no way he’d get into it, so I got the honour. :smiley:

tall drivers would be better off trying a 2+2 model, these are 2" taller at the roofline and 9" longer.
and lets face it, who wouldnt like an extra 2 inches :laughing:
