      OK,nothing can compares to the unique,amazing american muscle cars,but every country has its own car history,and its own treasures. I'll test this theme here,to see how many of you may be interested in.
      After all,what the Rock'n'Roll would be without cars? So let me know what you think and if it is an argument rich enough to make a group about. (In my albums page I posted an italian vintage cars gallery,check it if you want)

      Ha ha, Haven't seen one of those for years! looks like a mk 2 or a mk 3. We got those out here. Alright for going to the shops but that's about all! they came with a stock 4 cylinder motor 1300cc 1600cc and a 2 litre model, real slow off the mark.

      Hey Freddi. You might just like this if you like rock'n'roll and muscle cars.

      It's true that needs a lot of money for this hobby,that's why I even had one yet,but if you are not looking for the expensive models, in Italy you can take advantage tax (low price insurance,less general taxes,if your car has 20 years at least). It's not easy to find repair parts,but the might be helpful.So I put my eyes on a Toyota Celica TA22 Mk1 (like the one in the pic below) a model made in the first seventies,(the decade I prefer).
