New in the "For sale" section.......

Sorry Norm, it´s a car forum so no bikes in the future

After 2 years I'm STILL learning how this place works. I always took Retro Rides (the words) to be widely universal in meaning, encompassing all road ridden vehicles.

Including buses!

I´ve not seen a bus on the forum yet, and i´m more than happy to keep my possible future bus restauration to myself if that doesn´t fit in

To quote Hotwire...

What is Retro Rides all about?

Now there is a question! The forum started as a place to discuss different marques of classic and modified classic cars. Defining what cars we actually discuss is a little tricky, there some general threads that ties them all together. The cars are generally a peoples car of some sort, rather than out of reach sports cars, or they are an under appreciated classic. The cars tend to be modified either aesthetically, mechanically or both. They tend to be over 20 years old. More often than not they would be what most people consider budget classics.

However, they may not conform to any of these things, this is what makes what we do so interesting. So if you've got a 1973 Vauxhall Viva dropped over BBS alloys, or a 1906 Rolls Royce Silver Ghost, we'll be as interested to hear about your experiences and what its like to own your car, because above everything else Retro Rides is about a love of cars.


You´re forgetting we´re only talking about the for "sale section" here, bikes are still welcome in the "Readers other modifications" so don´t worry chaps! ;D

I'm not proposing restrictions, OB. I'm asking for the opposite of restrictions as to the motorcycles, is all.

The forum has had hundreds of threads and pics of buses. As well as motorcycles.

If consistency is the guide, and For Sale is to be restricted to cars only, and no motorcycles, then are there to be no adverts for buses, lorries, commercials either? Straight-up question, not a slap or attempt to quarrel. Asking, mate, just asking. Hasn't a thing to do with you personally, to ask about the policy.

I'd like to see ads allowed for all road vehicles, their parts, and their paraphernalia.

My last post on this matter, as I don't mean to irritate, and seems I am.

garage clearouts - this is where the cr3p creeps in - just because you keep it in the garage doesnt make it retro car related

maybe a "other modifications' For Sale section (in the other mods section) might be useful, and help declutter the parts section.

and lastly, well done Oldbus on tackling this problem head-on. Moderation needs a firm, but cool, hand

I am watching many of the bike threads on here, and money permitting I watch the "for sale" threads for bikes.

A car just would not suit my daily life, now if this place becomes a view only in regard to bikes, then seriously it is relative to shooting yourself in the foot, in regard to building a community.

i quite liked some of the random old curse word sold. i think a 'other' for sale section would work

but how many of em are full of likeminded people in search of retro tat and i mean full of em.. this place is as diverse as a forum gets...

I'm not gonna argue anyway, its OB's call and he's a good guy so don't wanna make his job harder

I could see that working... and i see your point of view too
