I’m Not Old I’m Classic
I’m sure the younger readers among us will look at this title and immediately think, “Oh boy, here we go again with the when I was your age speech,” and to some extent I suppose you’d be right. The difference is, simply look at the cars in this picture and compare them with what you see on the road today. Cars in the late fifties through the early eighties had what today’s rides are desperately lacking—character.

The Pre-War American Car That Survived a World War, a Diamond Mine, and Seven Decades in One Family. AI-Generated.
Some cars have histories. This one has a story. The Graham Model 64 Standard Eight chassis number 1801069 is coming to auction at H&H Classics in Newark on June 17th, estimated at £18,000 to £22,000. On paper, it is a rare pre-war American car with a significant design pedigree. In practice, it is a survivor in the fullest sense of the word.

The Greenest Car You Can Drive Is the One Already on the Road. AI-Generated.
There is a quiet irony at the heart of the classic car world that rarely gets acknowledged. In an era of sustainability targets, carbon calculations, and the relentless push toward new technology, the people spending their weekends in driveways with grease on their hands and a parts catalogue from 1952 may be practising one of the most genuinely sustainable habits going.

The Car That Made Even Frank Sinatra Wait in Line. AI-Generated.
There are luxury cars, and then there is the 1973 Rolls-Royce Corniche, a machine so thoroughly desirable when it arrived that David Bowie, Michael Caine, Elton John, and Dean Martin all put their names on two-year waiting lists just for the privilege of eventually owning one. Paul McCartney, Frank Sinatra, and Tom Jones didn't wait. They bought theirs immediately. That tells you almost everything you need to know about what the Corniche meant in its moment.

GAS747: Twenty Plus Years With a Holden VL Calais Turbo
I bought my Holden VL Calais Turbo in January 2004. I'd be lying if I said I knew back then it would still be in my garage 22 years later, but here we are. The plates are GAS747, and if you've been around the Australian VL scene for any length of time, you might have heard of it.

The beast
The beast It was early in the 1970`s and I was the geeky kid at school. You know the one that carried a briefcase instead of backpack. The occasional saving grace that kept me from complete social isolation was my brother. Six years my elder and a biker. He would, when the mood strike him, pick me up outside the gates of my all boys secondary school on his motorbike. This was not just any bike, this was "the beast". A full on cafe racer from the 1960`s These were the days before the Japanese had taken over. Before fiberglass fairings and disc brakes and engines the size and weight of a small house.. A Triumph 110, the precursor to the Bonneville although any resemblance to the factory model had long since past. The 650cc engine had been fitted with 11-1 compression pistons that made kick starting it a risky art form. Twin carbs and a 2 into 1 swept up exhaust. Four leading shoe front brakes that left the front wheel spokes no longer that a large match stick Twin leading shoe brakes on the back and an aluminium 5 gallon fuel tank. Clip-ons and rear sets forced the rider into a near prone position hunkered down with his chest embracing the tank. The whole sight was a vision of black and silver, aluminum and chrome with just one nut on the front wheel painted red as a highlight. Like I said, a classic 60`s cafe racer. Dad said "Son one say that bike will kill you". He could not have been more wrong.

Inside Line :Why Christopher Bell Could Lead Toyota 2026 Title Push by NWO Sparrow
Toyota’s Quiet Ace Christopher Bell Christopher Bell does not demand attention when he walks into a garage.

Yet when the checkered flag waves and the standings begin to take shape, Bell’s name keeps finding its way near the top. That steady climb is exactly why the Joe Gibbs Racing driver may be Toyota’s strongest weapon entering the 2026 NASCAR Cup Series season.
