Your right on 30s and 40s reliving their youth or scratching the itch I've met a lot of people collecting parts.
Prices have gone up across the board, 80s especially, a good period in terms of cars. I've also noticed novas have disappeared, wonder what a mint silk violet gsi would fetch today, can't remember the last time I've seen one.
Going back to my original rant...
I love seeing Cosworths, I wanted one for a while... Also wanted a Cav turbo, but couldn't insure any at 21, but I could insure a Impreza??? The rest is history...
When I used to go shows with the SIDC
I could never click with many of them, most of then just put their cars into a garage for work to be done, where as I've always tried to do as much as possible myself...
I get the same feeling going RS national day, not that RS owners don't work on their own cars, but it's badge snobbery imo...
And it comes across on here...
Any none RS Ford isn't worthy of a price value increase...
