I'll start the ball rolling. I'm 30 and don't think I'll ever understand the love for anything designed by British Leyland that didn't have an MG, Triumph, or Rover badge. Nor do I think I'll ever understand the Ford Escort.

What I was getting at when I started the thread... I get most classics. I really do. I find the comment about not getting TVRs especially bizarre in fact, one owned by my extended family owns is about to come back from South Africa where it's been on a bit of a tour, doing what it was supposed to do - race.

But I think there's some classics where you just 'had to be there' to understand the appeal and they're very hard to understand if you weren't there. At least for me.

Escort in that category (actually I had MK 4 in mind when I was typing this, but hey, I'll apply it to the rest of them too wink ) as is say a Morris Marina. Don't get it.
