Shopping is less tedious in a classic or I would say proper car. Also shop late to get all the bargains.

The only time it doesn’t get used much is when they start salting the roads. Even then I still take it a couple of miles a week too get everything warm. I mean why would you not, tax free motoring and thousand times more fun…

Totally makes sense! I know how bad salt is for cars, especially proper classics. I’m really looking forward to experiencing a classic as a daily driver. The more you drive them, the more reliable they become. Sitting unused is their worst enemy.

Yes. The same people who use the car as an ornament, drive it once and then I does it start… You need to use them as much as you car really. And look after them. Salt is a killer here …My kind of rule of thumb is. If its a nice day, take the MB, if there is a dribble of rain take it, but if there is salt, rainstorm or a smart motorway…Read More

I think I can safely say this was, by far, the best car experience I’ve had at Prescott Hill Climb. Even though it wasn’t a proper race, I can’t really imagine racing a car like this. Just knowing its value would be enough to add a bit of pressure. And to be hones…Read More

So here is a scenario. You have unlimited money but you have to spend it on a brand new 25 plate modern car of your preferred/favorite brand (That is still a company in 2025). For me it would be the Mercedes Benz Maybach S680 First Class. Not that I ever would as even if I had that kind of money to spend on a car I would always buy a classic. If…Read More

Interesting idea! Funny enough, I used to be a BMW fan since I was a teenager and I even worked for them as a service advisor, but not anymore with all the modern stuff.
Modern cars just aren’t really to my taste. They’re fine to drive now and then, and great for towing a trailer, but all those sensors drive me mad! I also find them quite str…Read More-

I agree. Good friend of mine has a 2025 5 series bimmer electric, as his company car. Been in it a few times and all the sensors and warnings like the lane thing and is has a shout at you if you go 31 etc. I think these are all mandates for new cars. I would never buy one just for that… I agree about the Bluetooth though. My fintail has…Read More
