Hello Shiters, Graeme from Glasgow here!  Reintro - ing myself because I've been out of the loop for years... great to see it's exacty the same here ?
For my sins I'm still a mega Citroenist - first car was a Panda but then solid Cits from 1998 till today in varying shades of shite.
I smoke around in a 1993 Xantia 1.9 TD VSX named Auld Katy and I have a jalopy 1968 ID19B complete with swively headlights.
But I love all old chuggers of any type (been developing a thing for old US motors lately that surprised me)
I'd love to get my mits on a Benz W123 estate!

Found my old spotted thread!! I want to restart this.    Last post in December 2011... the car park where the Cavalier was is now completely different and rearranged. It's Kingsgate in East Kilbride.

Love old planes too. For me it's the 'Jet age' commercials starting with the Comet the B707 and Caravelle (the sound of the 707 still makes me quivver), and the DC-9 and B737 100/200 types with the PW engines - they also made a proper noise. And though I have never seen one in the metal, the B52 makes an amazing noise - the harmonics between the 8 engines makes for some sound.
 
I have vague memories of them as a kid in the mid-late 80s. I also recall seeing a VC-10 at that time. on approach at Glasgow airport one summer evening with the sky all red it was a silhouette.
 
All of the Boeings from the 50s to date: 707, 727, 737, 747 and all of the comtemporaries. The DC-10 was a phenomenal thing. And let's not forget the L-1011 Tristar! That was some machine too.
 
I'd love to have seen a Trident in the air.
 
But none of these can do what Concorde does to me!!
 
I always have an irrational nervousness when flying in a B737 and a similar restfulness in an Airbus... It's unjustified but it's there..

Done it about a dozen times myself - no fun in buying local
