Driving home through Hackney tonight, fast becoming one of the biggest hangouts of the hipster, I noticed that I was behind a very nice J-reg Mk2 Golf GTi, and was then passed by an (also very nice) H-reg BMW 320i. And it made me wonder, are retros becoming the cool cars to have? I don't mean the obvious classics, like the Beetle, the Mini and the DS, but the modern classics that we all love.

Classic cars are cool. Cool people drive classic cars.

hipsters do anything for attention. even trying to be cool by driving what we all have been for years

Yeah, we were driving retros before it was cool!

To be honest, I think it's great that people are continuing to buy and drive retro cars! It keeps our interest alive and ensures that there are more cars being saved, maintained, restored and generally driven on our roads. All good things as far as I'm concerned.

Anything that looks like it may becoming iconic are cashed in on by these intolerable youths. Look how the bodykit craze went mad following the Fast and Furious franchise. My cousin is one of them young un's and he wants a Lambretta or Vespa because there cool and the celebs love it. Much like the Mini with Madonna and now the Capri with Harry Styles as the kids are down with that stuff. So lets all blame Harry Styles

Some days you just need to take a grinder to an inanimate object, just to make your day a tiny bit better!!

So lets all blame Harry Styles Yes, for everything lol.

S3 E-Type mistaken for S1 Landy? I can see why, after all one's a crude, mass produced, antique piece of British machinery loved by many, the other is a Land Rover.

I dunno. I mean I drive old/retro cars, but I'm far from being one of the cool kids.

Why all the hate? There's enough room for everyone to love a bit of retro action.
Jesus, just imagine how 'they' would judge some of you, maybe think of that before getting on those high horses...this thread is (mostly) full of whinging snotbags. Retros are cool. Regardless of who loves them.

I must admit that at this year's Gathering I did notice a proliferation of yoofs festooned with tattoos and wearing snapbacks, either swaggering around with a kind of loping gait that reminded me of a pi**ed-up chimpanzee wearing a nappy full of porridge, or 'standing around attempting to look disaffected' (I nicked that line off Mr.Aston but it's so funny I don't care). I thought it was just me being a curmudgeonly old git. I'll just get on with enjoying me old car.
