    ahh the great grandaddy of the 'hundy

    could you class the 1st saab turbos as a "classic" - first production turbocharged cars.


    or posisbly the ol' audi quattro - 1st production 4wd car....

    M8 of mine had a 1380 Mini and loads stripped for spares...old bloke stops his dad the one day in the street and starts going on about their Minis, tells him he has one in his garage, if they move it, they can have it as its been there for years. They don't bother, expecting it to be an old Mini City etc...someone else ends up with it and its a flamin' 998 Cooper...gutted...
