I liked the series, but I remember that bit and thinking “Aren’t you rich enough to fucking buy one?!” Definitely came off shitty.

I don’t usually like to start my day with an argument, but you’re so wrong. The scrappage scheme did lead to a few perfectly decent classics being taken off the road, but you’re always going to get wankers who don’t think twice about what they’re doing.

I think it’s a relative thing, the US has some pretty arid areas, so you can just leave a car to sit for years and it won’t turn to dust, over here my car rusts while it’s in the garage!

I was working behind a bar once when I had a guy pull my hair (I'm a man and had shoulder length blonde hair) trying to be funny in front of his friends. They'd been giving people shit all evening, but actually touching me - that ain't on.

Yeah? Well, I COMPLETELY missed that.

Why should they be as legislated as guns? I could do as much damage with a lorry as I could with a tank. More so even, as people would generally see a tank coming. Let's not even get started on decommissioned emergency vehicles - they can go almost anywhere in an urban environment!

No more than a lorry.

Wait, what? Literally anyone can buy a tank. Once it's disarmed it's yours to do what you want with. If you want to drive it on the road all you need is the insurance and requisite addition to your drivers license and you're sorted!

Managed to get one sideways once. My mum has a light green convertible that I was borrowing. I was tasked with going out on a beer run, so I drove into town, stopped off at McDonald's listening to Queen on full blast with the roof down (in December in the UK) and parked right next to all the chavs doing the same in…

Correction; "And so a hoarder simply had another excuse!"

Just remembered another.

I have three, two are mine from my days driving ratty little Minis around the Kent countryside, and one is a friend's.

Do you make money by being wrong? If so you must be rolling in it.

Yeah, people over here just DON'T EVEN KNOW!

*poring.

Unfortunately there's another wrinkle involved before that happens. You see, the Department of Transportation isn't the only federal agency that takes a look at non-conforming cars. Your imported vehicle will also need approval from the Environmental Protection Agency, which is interested in just how much your desired…

I would have loved to own an Innocenti! My dream is a 66 cooper s, to go with my 66 Midget.

Daily driven them for years. As long as you maintain it properly and don't let it fall apart you've got a pretty decent car that even an idiot like me can work on properly.

The best kind of boner!

It is when you hear it. At Le Mans this year it was an absolute joy to hear it roar. The rumble from the engine seems to make your entire chest vibrate.
