    Air cooled only show

    Great idea.Real vehicles with owners that have worked hard them selfs to keep it alive not gone through the who's who's list of restorers,mag shoot then you see it on Ebay.Or a T5 with big alloys,sub's and LCD TV fresh from your local Halfords.Classic Aircooled in what ever shape :D
