What do we all read then?

Regular mags for me are Car Mechanics, practical Classics and retro cars.

I enjoy picking out the varuous faults in the tech articles, sad, yes I am.

retro cars has got crap lately, might stop gettign it actually.

Anyway bought the new Practical Classics today, theres a good article by Quentin Wilson on tracing the history of your car. hes bought himself number 22 E type, has contacted loads of th eprevious owners and now has lots opf old bills, tax discs and so on.

I like details like that, I did it with the cosworth and an A plate XR3. Might do it with the Chamade, its an English car, worked its way north to Carlisle then I bought it.

8 prev keepers, never know might find out its a ringer! lol (its not)

see girls driving ph2's up here a lot.

Also in Edinburgh every williams and theres a few are driven by middle aged women. I kid you not, George will confirm this.

Never see many ph1's, theres a white hatch driven by a dickhead, he had a clio 16V but smacked it big style so bought a ph1 white hatch and then stuck a ph2 rear bumper on it, arse. Saw a guy driving a chamade same as mine on the m8 when geore was with me in my old hatch.

A ringer, a car made from 2 smacked ones.

I keep magazines as well. Sold Casper on RSC my revs collection from 96-99.

I pm'd you matey.

Yeah, lots of Williams in Edinburgh, mostly in Morningside and affluent places of the likes, all driven by old pish artists.

Ringing is the term used for changing the vins on cars, dodgy stuff it be indeedy.
