Unhappy dont see as many classics now
i have noticed over the last year that classics seem to be a bit of a rarity on the roads these days


its quite sad cos there is no one to wave to

I have to agree. I'm seeing less and less on the road, I think the boy racers have bought all the sh!tters and written them off!

Lets hope the prices start going up then.

Thats good news-as EVO mag says, the original is "destined for classic status" !
As mentioned, hopefully the chav brigade will write off all there early poor examples and leave the creme for the enthusiast!
