Have you owned and driven a 40+ year old car on a regular basis?

No, thought not.

the question is fine;
it's the stab in the back that follows that makes you sound like a smart-a*se

This. It's just a bit... playgroundish.

If you think being asked a pertinent and relevant question is "very aggressive" you should probably refrain from using the internet so you don't ever see anything that might offend you.

I agree the first part of the question was fine. The rest..........?
I've no problem with aggression if it's face to face and then I will deal with it. Hiding behind a keyboard is different. I do understand that there is an element that seem to enjoy posting this way on too many forums. I just don't think there is any need for it.
This sort of unpleasant behaviour will only discourage new posters or put people off from sharing their opinions or ideas that could be very useful to others.
I will have to disappoint you but I will not refrain from using the internet, or having an opinion, to please posters like yourself.

I'm dreaming of an Austin A35
Or a rare A35 sports

Or anything really beautiful.

But I don't have a garage so I'm only dreaming at this stage....when I have a garage....I will be very interested in getting something nice.

re owning a 40 year old car when the snow came down did i drive my skoda favorit estate with abs etc ? No it was the 1972 Saab 95 estate with heated seats narrow tyres that cut in and eats bad weather for breakfast.PS the tailgate goes up and stays up no road tax no emissions to worry about. JH list re 1300 is superb

Didn't know there was an A35 Sports. There was an A40 Sports about 60 yrs ago, 1200cc engine, soft top body by Jensen and 4 seats.

I don't remember an A35 sports, but I'm sure the only thing of worth on the A35 was that you'd keep your licence. It couldn't get to 70mph!

Hate to say, I've clocked well over 80 on my A30 which has an A35 engine in it. Absolutely terrifying :-p
