Calm down. It's only a classic car magazine with a few pictures of my car in it for Gods sake. :hmmm: :lol:

Any git can throw fat dollars at a car, infact I can sometimes see the logic in buying straight into a fully restored usable car,but there is a big difference between proper car guys who are'nt afraid to soil hands and those who just grease palms. I wish more recognitiom went to owner restorers at shows :|

ya know some shows used to have a "build in progress" class,and it was kinda neat cause you got to see the progress and its judged on what has been done by the restorer

,alot of cars we see in mags are what they call over restored

,and then you cant drive them cause you have oodles of money on thing :s008:
