Default Old Skool cool...

So, the consensus seems to be that Astra Belmonts dont appear to be liked that much lol.

So, which old skool cars do you think are cool?

Myself - Mark 2 Granada's, Cavalier SRi130's and Mk2 / Mk3 Cortina's, Mk1 and Mk2 Escorts...

How old does a car have to be to be old skool?
Mk2 Astra Belmonts went into the early 90s, so what we saying, 90 and before?

Theres a cav convertable round the corner from me and a bloke who's go 3 SD1 rovers

But any classic is cool to even be still on the road

Don't think a BMW X5 will be still on the road in 35 years u just have to see the prices of the 850's etc cost u more if something goes wrong

Mk1 Astra GTEs rock, I had an SR but my mate had a few GTEs. Belting cars.
Big into MK1 and 2 Escorts and I love MK2 capris even though I have 2 MK3 capris cos they so much cheaper and aren't that much different.
Now where did I leave that welder . . .

I agree, Mk2 cavalier 5dr SRi 130, in white over anthracite with the white wheels - they were the daddy in their day (in the company car park at least)

Still reasonably swift today - when did you last see one?
