 Hey Everyone! Very pleased to say, that in conjunction with The Little John Classic Car & Motorcycle Club, I shall be running a regular, monthly retro & classic meet in the East Midlands. RETROMANIA is a monthly meet for pre '94 Classic and Retro Vehicles. Held every 1st Sunday of the month from 5PM at the One Call Stadium in Mansfield, Notts. Head over to our Facebook group, Retromania and drop us a 'Like' to be kept up to date of the latest meets and news!  EVENT PAGE HERE!WHO AND WHAT IS WELCOME?Any interesting vehicle, made before 1994 is welcome. Got a Beetle? You're Welcome! Got an MX-5? You're Welcome! Got an E-Type Jag? You're Welcome! Got a classic Motorbike? You're Welcome! Heck - if you want to bring a steamroller, you're welcome! WHY PRE '94?In a nutshell, because this isn't the show for rows of Focus ST's, slammed Boras, Type R Civics etc. This is a meet for cars with history and character. WHERE IS IT? Mansfield Town F.C. One Call Stadium Quarry Lane Mansfield Nottsinghamshire NG18 5DA |

Really? 1994? Whats the deal, do you really want me to start listing cool cars that your going to miss out on? Pretty sure this is against the the Retro Rides manifesto.....

Really? 1994? Whats the deal, do you really want me to start listing cool cars that your going to miss out on? Pretty sure this is against the the Retro Rides manifesto..... I imagine it's a rough guideline, with obvious exceptions like the RRG has. E.g, a 1993 Pug 205 will be fine because it's pre-94, but a 1995 Pug 205 would also be fine because the 205 was designed in the early 80's. Definitely agree though, there's a tonne of cool retro stuff that's just shy of this '94 cutoff |

Definitely agree though, there's a tonne of cool retro stuff that's just shy of this '94 cutoff 1994 was set, purely as it's roughly 25 years. Most classic car clubs set this as a guide. Now, needless to say, there's a 'Rule of Cool' at all shows. This however, will be at the discretion of the organiser (that'll be me then). What is absolutely CYSTAL CLEAR though, is that the Corsa boy, slammed with a curse word pipe, baseball cap on backwards brigade are NOT WELCOME. This is a meet for genuine lovers of old metal and retro/classic style. If you feel that you'd really like to come along, but that your car maybe doesn't strictly fit the cut-off DROP ME A MESSAGE HERE.
I'm not a COMPLETE dick, and above all, I love classic cars. |

What does the RR manifesto have to do with that club´s event? Go ahead, start your list - or just stay away from that event if you don´t like the rules. Simple as that... Funny though how some people got ripped a new one by some for daring to say Corsa's arent cool...... i think you were one of them....we were pointed towards the 'RR manifesto'....... |

I'm not a COMPLETE dick, and above all, I love classic cars. Sorry i've been hounded on this forum for saying stuff about Corsa's, but like on all forums hypocritical nonsense abounds here....mainly based on post count and the gang mentality.... I agree with you buddy, there should be rules and barry boys in chav corsas should be banned full stop! I drive a car just shy of 1994 and in the past had some amazing Alfas who would fall out of your cut off but were rare a hen teeth and jeffin cool! So yeah not having a go at you just this place... |

RETROMANIA returns!
Next event will be Sunday 5th of July.
I won't personally be at this event, as I'm taking part in the UK Power Tour.
We had an excellent turnout for the first meet, so hopefully some of you will come along and help make this a regular event.

It's an awesome event, Bob and the rest make you feel very very welcome so I'd recommend it to anyone prepared to make the trip.
Sadly I missed last nights due to being out in the car all day and totally shattered.
