Don't know if any of you ever watch that Antiques Road Trip on the telly. It's the one where two antiques experts travel round the country - in a different classic car each week - buying items at antiques shops which they then try to sell at a profit at auction in a competition with each other.
I confess I am quite hooked on it - but I always wonder where they get their cars from and think 'would I lend them my Z if asked?'.
The answer to that question is a definite NO! Why? Have you seen the way they treat them? Yanking the handbrake on every time they stop without ever pushing the button in, often crunching the gears, slamming the doors when they get out, sitting on the bonnet while they discuss their buys - the list goes on and on.
For people who appreciate old things they seem to show very little respect for the classic cars they drive!
