So much attention for classic cars is great! So many people enjoy it during meetings and fairs in various forms. It brings old and young together. Young-young and old-old also benefit from it and V/M often get their money's worth too 😉.
There will be EU parliament elections soon. What should you vote for or not vote for so that we can continue to enjoy this history, the experience, the techniques and the beautiful designs in the future? I find it difficult to understand the political positions.
