Indeed, esp if touched by some 'stance' mods and touches like wheels etc. Round headlamps and super thin A and B pillar posts all help.
I think a lot of that era of car are mis reported by those who have never lived with them.

The car's predecessors were great (MG 1100's, 1300 GT etc).
The Morris 1800 was a great car, took me and 3 mates to the Munich Olympic games no less, my first trip out of the UK.
That WAS a long time ago!

Those modifications are an improvement - but it's still an Allegro ...

There's so much flex in the Allegro's construction that if you jack it up in the wrong place, the back window will fall out and the doors will jam shut.

It’s already here Mike and developing all the time.

Several free and paid AI tools are already available and have been for a while now.

We use one daily when coding. Instead of googling “how do I write this code” and then sifting through a variety of possible answers, we use the AI and tell it to write the code. You still need to know how to use the code though.

Ha!
Maybe so...
Yellow plane was built in 2020.
Mine was a 'real' one built in 1965 or so. Didn't last long.....

The South Birmingham Club still does control line and only control line as nostalgia wins every time.

Used to be quite popular - in the USA, it was common to use Fuchs on custom mini-trucks in the 1990s, too.

The Caddy and Mk2 Golf look great on Fuchs. I'm planning a set of 16's for my t25 bus.
