I have to say that you blokes do put up some lovely pictures. I have to confess that I have used some of them as my screen-saver for a month or so!

Nissan Sunny quite collectable now with the younger folk - seems bizarre, you would never of guessed back then...
Different strokes for different folks!
I got chatting to a group of lads this year in the car park at the Beaulieu autojumble in May (they were playing cricket there.... obviously). They can't have been out of their teens. They were in a Talbot Solara!
They were genuinely nice lads and loved the car.

BMW E30s also a big favourite, they like the squareness and lack of electronics, I think…..

Lots of Mk1 Minis in this short colour film from 1968...I was 11 years old when this was made with some great period footage of cars and streets from that time.

Look at Life - "On The Meter" (1968) HD:-
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cb6STA5eHI8

Any thoughts about this 'boy racer' Mini seen in traffic in the film at around 3m:48s. What has it got fitted on top of both front wings??
