    Please use the attach feature for the large images, at least don't post them inline if they are wider than 800 pixels.
    If you should see a man walking down a crowded street talking aloud to himself, don't run in the opposite direction, but run towards him, because he's a poet. You have nothing to fear from the poet - but the truth.

    hmm, not sure about the Morgan as "retro fad".

    Morgans haven't changed look since the Four Four intriduced in 1937 !!!
    They currently have a 12 month waiting list for a new car, so they continue to do the "right thing" for their buyers !!

    SO the Morgan is a NEW UPDATED LOOK not retro

    Are you just displaying retro cars, or are you making an arguement?
    To Some, a rusted out 1989 GMC Suburban* is trash

    But to Me, its home

    i think retro is a dead end for car manufacturers.
    instead of inovating, they are using theyr heritage to compensate for a sales slump. *cough*American brands*cough*.

    In 15 years when they have another sales slump will they RE-RE-make the GT?
    its ridiculous.

    american manufacturers are so bloody bad at making new versions of their past superstars, the ford gt is the only nice one. That mercury is just URGH.

    1950s oversized grille and styling ?
    "Hemi" engine ?
    And isn't it available with tortise shell steering wheel and gearstick ??
    IIRC I read that somewhere - it stuck becuase it was just "weird"

    I don't mind retro cars. I guess becuase I was too young when the "original" ones were made. As long as they are testfully done, I like em'

    That retro Camaro never was a show car, just a chop.
