... Apparently these types of cars are NOT often stolen- they're too easily recognised. A Honda Accord's a much higher risk. I read my "Collector" policy and...

... Actually not completely correct in some jurisdictions. You can ask a couple of our club members' whose insurance was yanked because they had a cage...
Funny you should mention the Mini. If you look on eBay, almost every one is a "re-VIN" and is blatantly a late model. There's even one here in town. They're...

Keith, I tried to get coverage from one of the collector car insurers. They asked that I send photos and a description of the car. I complied and got turned ...

Keith: Note that these are a reprint: "Here in stock as reprint, b&w, colour front." If I am not mistaken, the edition with the bright colour cover is a...
You're partially right about the 1" tube, but isn't the book 4-link and panhard round (mine is)? I seem to have collected quite a bit of 1" tube and I sure...
