Was it you? I saw my first 'real' Series in what must be 20 years...

I truly hope you're right. I really do. That'd be glorious. It'd brighten the day if classics-various become an everyday sight.

Modern stuff... it's all 'orrble angles, bloat  and 'look-at-me' bling.

Is it me?

Can we name one modern car we'd consider truly attractive? eg: How you could take the classic Mini - which to my mind was humble and kinda cute, and inspired by such example see today's Mini and be proud? Beats me? It's not even that it's lost something, I can't put my finger on it exactly - more it looks like it came from a soul-less place.

Opionions will vary, yet all of us could name a dozen favourite classics. Name one modern car you'd say was 'pretty'?

As for the classic-exemption. Thing is, they took the exemption from my factory-fit 'gas' vehicle, sadly you're likely to be right about that.
