<div>That looks very neat and tidy. Time to get it dirty.
However fit some air filters in a cold box first. Avoid
the foam affairs because of severe fire risk. These cars
are for driving. All this concourse stuff is bullshit.
Use them, make them safe to drive in modern traffic and
enjoy them. We have friends that use their A-H cars as a
