	You may be aware I'm planning on rescuing a Greek 1982 Toyota Corolla Coupe and driving it back. Now this is some roadtrip but assuming all goes OK I plan to be detouring slightly to take in RRG11 on the way back. Probably stopping in London on sat night and driving up Sun morning. The car will be standard as collected and wont be a stand show stopper but it should have an interesting tale if it indeed gets there. Its also a really loved car by my girlfriends dad and it would be cool to be able to tell him it was going to go on show 'when' we get to England. I was at RRG09 in my 924 along with my brother in his Saab 900 Turbo and enjoyed it very muchly. Unfortunately I haven't got camping tickets this year so will buy on the door. I'm from Leeds and will be traveling back there after the show so maybe the Northern stand would be appropriate? I know I have met a couple of people from this group before. Alternatively given where its coming from the 'Europe' stand may be more suitable? I don't mind if its too late or too unreliable in case we didn't make it to be part of a stand, but wanted to ask. Otherwise we will park in the retro carpark and enjoy the show anyway. Steve & Danai

	I drove a 1985 Corolla GL from manchester all the way to milan in italy no problems few months ago ;D Great little cars as long as you chek your basics like all hoses, radiator I took my thermostat out as it was sticking and was slightley over heating apart from that it was bang on. Good luck Here is the link to my trip retrorides.proboards.com/index.cgi?action=display&board=general&thread=104083&page=1

	You're more then welcome on the Europe stand, mate! That looks like a epic roadtrip!
	I've seen a bunch of people overhauling a complete wreck in 60 minutes on TV, so why can't I do it in 3 weeks?

	Excellent, thanks for the welcome. Added to the stand list. Do I need a pass of some kind? We set off on our outbound trip on Sunday night, its gettting very close now.
