They were parked there when I used to commute down that street, and that was over 5 years ago! I also noticed them then, and enjoyed seeing them.

The Porsche is rather common and average!
But a car club, why? I would much prefer to own one, even if I did only take it out occasionally. But pay thousands to drive one of those occasionally just wouldn't cut it for me.
Ferrari's and classics appeared to be out in force today.

The DS Break isn’t quite so elegant. I know you can’t make a station wagon as beautiful as the DS saloon, but I always feel disappointed by the Break.

I always loved the DS Safari, and liked the CX for its size and that it was so different for an estate car.

I wanted one, or a BX GTi. Never got either, don't really know why.
I just sort of thought that from the front doors back, it’s not that different. Especially when compared to the DS saloon. I loved the CX Safari, always makes me think of a rather large family at my for primary school who had a seven seater in copper. I just love Citroens. When I got married, we had a DS for our wedding car. And I got in touch with a local Citroen dealer to try to borrow a C6 for a something old, something new idea.

How do I change this 'custom title' thing then?
I don’t know, i’ve Always fancied a year or so with these people. The cars are mostly all ones that would be fun to drive once or twice without being so ‘clasic’ that you’d feel like you’d drowned a kitten if you dinged one.

It looks like it.
Cmon, unless you're just about to throw out tyres with 1500 miles that are too old you'll never know the joy of the fucking old things.

Is that the place that hires out classic cars ? Have driven past it a few times .

This is probably a good place to ask a question that has been puzzling me for a while, which is why old Fords have such devout followers but old Vauxhalls don't . I went to a classic car show last year, loads of Escorts, Capris, Fiestas, even Scorpios etc but hardly any Vauxhalls, just a Viva or two. Is it that they don't elicit the same loyalty or just rot away more? Loads of youngsters would have started driving in an Astra or whatever but they don't seem to go back to them in later life as a hobby car in the way Ford owners do.

There is an active Vauxhall owners club. There's also a lot of Facebook groups for the various models. I've recently joined a Bertone OC. Vauxhall had a reputation for rusting, and for being boring. The few that were raced never achieved the levels of success that Ford did. Jeremy Clarkson and Top Gear didn't help with their attitude to Vauxhall.

Yep, had a Corsa for about 4 years

yep-I was brought up with the "ford is the working mans car" line- and the sporty ones were always far more desirable than their GM counterparts- even in the 80s, when GM reinvented the desirable salesman car with the cavalier and turned up the engineering to make cars that could even be used for cabbing and do massive mileages, they were mostly considered a work car.
Also means the Ford scene tax. A Ford plated limited slip diff I have in a car of mine is from an old Escort RS2000 and in it's used state is worth more than a brand new replacement Quaife diff. It's mad. Will sell it as it's horrible for the road (but brilliant for the track.)

I've owned literally hundreds of cars (maybe 200+ by now) and I've never had a GM.
I would love to have a 3rd gen 73-79 Suburban and do a 6BT Cummins engine conversion on it.
