Good work! I get negative comments from people when I drive my 1929 or 1931 Ford. Things like, "That belongs in a museum" or "You drive that on the ROAD?". I have to remind people: It's a car. It was built to be driven, not to be left in a large garage for dead, but with the lights on. Keep it up, and best wishes!

Friends used to ask me why I drove my '68 Buick Electra when I got her, instead of cleaning her up & putting her away( I had the trunk's floor replaced, but other than that, it was basic maintenance). I replied, "Sure, they're hard to find parts for, & maybe you worry a little about getting it hit - but it was built to be DRIVEN - otherwise, you just have a really large paperweight." I wish I had her today - she would start on the 1st turn, no matter what the weather.

There numbers are much smaller that past years from the post WWII era up through the 80's and 90's but they are out there. They are often dismissed because they might be playing around with a 92 Honda but give them credit for being willing to open the hood and turn a wrench or two. There are no $900 dollar 69 Camaro's that run and drive like I was able to buy when I turned 16 in 1982. They are buying what is out there and affordable.

Well done for keeping the history alive. The oldest car I drive is an 1898 Panhard Levassier, it was we believe a factory race car although it now has a saloon body. It is part of the Shuttleworth Collection where I volunteer in the vehicle section, we also have a 1904 De Dietrich-also a race car, and a lot of other cars and aircraft up to 1939. The unique point of Shuttleworth is that all of the collection runs and drives or flies-it is believed that we have the oldest flying aircraft in the world. Shuttleworth collection is based at the Old Warden airfield in Old Warden Bedfordshire UK.

absolutely wonderful! reminds me of the Rush tune; red Barchetta. that primal wind in your face,the smells of the leather, oil,the song of the metal clockwork machinery meshing in exquisite precision providing that exhilarating rush of speed and adrenaline. the uncertainty of missing that gear for the next shift or maybe throwing that belt or wheel passing you by from ancient fatigue or metal stressed failure leading to catastrophic entropy in the next corner! the cacophony of clattering solid lifters coupled with the exhaust smell and note,the crunch of the gravel so close under tire you can practically touch the ground and feel the pebbly spray in your face! primal indeed! I love y'all wearing the original type gear goggles and throw back uniforms of the time, it must make you feel connected through time with a hundred years ago long warp thread binding you to the hallowed golden pioneering days of motor car racing in its infancy. it truly is a wonderful exciting leap back in time, and people say time machines don't exist, I sincerely beg to differ. thank you gentlemen.▪☆☆☆▪

I never understood car shows. It is so boring to just walk around and look. I love the show n go at Brainered international raceway. Classic cars doing what they are meant to do. I enter my "classic car" in drift events, track race and drag race it every chance I get. I bought it for that and that is what I do with it. My neighbor has cars he has never driven. I respect him for preserving original cars. But I told him he at least has to experience them. He now will drive them a few times a year. Seeing him now, he is even more enthused by the cars he owns. He is so excited now when he talks about his last drive experience. Cars are meant to be driven and taking care of. In a way they are a part of my family.

Now, pipes arent race cars, but it stands the same Use the antiques as they were designed and love them the way the past 5 to 10 owners did Dont let history grow stale behind glass
