:)Hi All
Well.... I'm gutted that I cant make it to the Gathering and I suppose others who live abroad are gutted too.
Anyway this got me wondering.
How much of the World does RR actually cover?
So to get things started -
I'm Sinky a Scotsman living Southern EspaƱa.
Cmon RR internationalists lets be havin you! ;D

Well I'm from South Australia, and I'm not the only South Aussie member on here. From everything I've seen the spectrum is pretty broad, covering most of continental Europe, the UK of course, the US, Australia and New Zealand, not forgetting of course our members from Japan and a few other Asian countries. And I've read plenty of threads from a couple of South American members. Have we missed out any continents? Perhaps Antarctica, but the only Retro Rides there that I know of are Beetles from the Australian Antarctic Expedition!

Nope, I definitely won't be going this year! Maybe in a couple of years' time when I've finished uni, who knows. And thanks for the compliments on the Bug, I've updated the thread now for the first time in months. If the postman brings my new exhaust tomorrow then there may be some exciting pics to go up on the weekend!

Well, I'm usually in Surrey but this week I'm in Boston, USA. Nice place but gutted not to be going to the gathering.

Currently driving a 1972 BMW 1602 as my daily. Don't ask about previous cars - there have been way too many and I stopped counting at 160!

Well I'm an Englishman who's sometimes in Scotland when he's not working in Algeria but I'm currently in Holland working due to visa issues. I won't make the gathering either at the weekend. Work has really screwed up any plans I have this year, gutted.
Incidentally, I made last years gathering in an Audi 100 I bought especially for going. I was on 3 weeks leave from a job in Qatar at the time and bought the Audi because I wanted a Retro Ride to go to the gathering in and it was cheaper than a hire car. sold it 6 months later and only lost 150 quid. retro-rides.... love em.

I'm a Scotsman living in Southern France, about 1.5 hours drive east of Toulouse. My work means I only get holiday time during winter periods, which means I miss 99.9% of any shows etc  |

I love that RR has so many international members, it's great to see what people are doing / seeing / building / driving in another part of the world. Also, next time I'm overseas I'm going to try to meet up with the local RR'ers.  BB - an Englishman in England. ;D |
