Default Amazon review on Classicandsportscar.com homepage

The home page of www.classicandsportscar.com now features an Amazon review curtesy of Mark Hughes. I seem to remember a thread a few months ago including Mark ???

I think they should have updated the prices for parts, since the review is about 14 years old and things like front wings have more than doubled, or even tripled in price.

A pretty good piece overall I thought. At least they had the idea of speaking to someone who really knows his onions (Tony) when they were doing it, but it's obviously quite an old article.
On the other side of the coin spares wise, I gather bumpers are no longer quite as much as £1000 a set.

"If you have prejudices, as millions do, brought on by the mind-boggling ineptness and arrogance of so many modern Volvo drivers, cast them aside."
Thats stirring it a bit, isnt it?
