Hi

Came across this on my YouTube feed and it resonated a bit.....

You could of course apply to pretty much any old restoration hobby.

It's not nostalgia for me or about legacy but the rest of it certainly rang true.

I do actually love driving old cars.  I got to sit in a few Alfa's at a track day at Goodwood when I took my wife and kids there for a LR experience. 

I just awakened something in me from my past.

I wanted something to tax my brain, so not a basic car like an Escort or Manta - my current job is too slow moving for me, kids are now young teens and need me about but not that close, wife away a lot so its just me sometimes on kids duty

Need a good community and old fashioned forum - like the VW t4 and 6 forums which I really enjoy

Can it fit in my garage (one day)?

Lancia Beta because I did a lot of work on them bitd

I am an 70's~80's kid ;-)
