One great attribute of GT silver is that it doesn't show it's age - people still think my 7 year old 997 is a new car when it's clean.

What baffles me more is when people don't even use an apostrophe consistently; why use it on 'Gala' but not 'Promotion'? What rule are they trying to follow? I just don't get it.

Sorry LBS - that does not stack - old cars are classic "period"?

The Model T Ford - the most accessible mundane fit for purpose as "transport" only (car) ever - is that not a classic? All cars become classic - the time period is key however. Ford Cortina's Mk1's are now very sought after - yet were only base transport when new...life moves on....Marina's and Allegro (though not my cuppa) are now classic's.

I know that actually do exist, it was a little tounge in cheek as they seem to be closing down left right and centre, dont see them anywhere as much as you used to and must be at least 3 years since ive had one.

My house went to a bidding war an after 2 weeks we won and are very happy in it.

Likewise I put a house on the market last October and the prices started going up an so I put the price up. It sold for the new price.

It's worth what it's is worth in both instance's.

A lot of people seem to feel that words ending in vowels deserve an apostrophe before the plural S, for some reason

(that is actually a real rule in Dutch, but only with foreign words, like pizza)
