Hi all,

As activity in this sub-category has waned somewhat, I'll shortly be removing this category and rolling all the posts into the "All other cars...." category instead.

I'm always open to creating new categories, whether that be just for US vehicles, 3-wheelers, or even cars of Italian origin Wink .... so long as there are enough separate threads, and posting activity, to justify it Smile

Air-cooleds...I like the sound of that.

There's definitely been enough activity to justify certain nationality categories.
Starting with Italian?

In my mispent youth the "Cheap seats" were right at the front and a good right arm meant you could hit the guy who came on before the picture started with the remains of the icecream cone.

I sold my P2 two weeks ago, it was driven 180 miles to its new home in the Highlands of Scotland

There will be a load of spare parts for sale soon once I get myself organised

All the existing Rover threads survive, they just went into the All Cars section. There wasn't much activity in the Rover-only category, and IMO there's nothing worse than a category that has little or no regular use. Had it seen more use, it'd have remained of course.

Smile if there's a sudden rush of Rover threads, I'd probably re-instate it, just at that point in time there'd not been much activity. Same with the MG cat.
