True car people are becoming a thing of the past

It certainly feels like the old car scene here in Aus has been taken over by two subsets - wealthy collectors, and rust entrepeneurs or 'flippers'.
I do miss the old days where the forums were flat out with posts daily of people updating their project threads with real and gritty home workmanship.

I work in a factory of 350 people in a rural town, and there are only 2 other car/motorcycle guys that I know. It used to be 90% of people.
