Classic car drivers?

Here's a new one, was wondering if anyone on the ags drives a classic car? Seeing as we're so in our retro gaming, why not retro driving!

Personally i drive around in this beauty, she's called casper.

'87 mini advantage (wimbldon edition) brought up to look like a cooper.

Post your cars chaps!

I once had an '89 Rover 200, but it kept breaking down so in the end I scrapped it.

I drive a 1973 Dodge Dart Swinger (aww yeah)

Kinda looks like this, except it's a goldish color and not nearly as kept up.

i prefer the term 'modern classic'

I do too.. I don't think 1989 New Yorker is a classic yet, but it sure is classy!

I had an audi 80, but in about 1999 I blew the engine up so I swapped it with a garage for one of these,

definately not a classic car, but someone did stop me once in a car park and asked if I took it to rallies, I never knew if he was taking the piss or not. I had it for about 6 months before some teenager nicked it and crashed it.

Here's what I drive, er, I mean I drove until almost thee weeks ago (Now I take the bus :'()

An '84 Buick LeSabre, that's about the right colour too, except it's missing some rust. It was three years from being a classic, yet my manager said it would never get that designation. We'll never know now

I have a very classic bicycle.

I'm restoring a 1972 VW Type 3 SquarebackÃ,Â but it won't be on the road until Spring of '08.Ã,Â

My daily driver is a 1987 Honda Civic Wagon.Ã,Â It's a bit of a cult classic but most people who see mine ridicule me for it.Ã,Â

I really don't think a '97 Corolla qualifies as 'classic,' but I'll post a picture anyway just to show off my old, dirty, but completely reliable set of wheels.

And I think my little 'modification' makes it a classic in its own right:

I used to own a poo brown '74 Corolla Coupe
similar to this one but different colour, with original parts, and not quite as good condition

I loved it and was sad when I sold it, cars just don't last as long as they used to, cars aren't built to live 30+ years these days.

The 1978 Datsun 280z. My mom was the original owner and just as she was passing it on over to me, the back axle gets inspected and is found that it could snap at any moment, and with that, bring down the back half of the car, completly trashing it.

We had to give it up. Such a shame.

And here's a fun note: Can you spot the car I took to Mittens 04, New York?

I used to have the Volvo PV. It was awesome. Now I have a BMW 518i from 1985. It's got Webasto. Oh yeah

My first car was a run down BMW 320i, I loved that thing. It had been impounded and I bought it for the impound fee pretty much.
