Due to public demand ,.. I'm setting up a gallery section of the site to contain show/event pictures etc. It will also have a Readers Rides section,.. So get your pictures to me with details : Car, Year, Modifications (if any). Pictures will be hosted on Retro-rides site so emailing pictures is fine, or stick them up in this thread and I'll copy them. Bigger the better as its easier to resize them if required.

Also as I said before if you go to any shows, or just see some cars around the place, grab some pictures of them and get them to me some how. Full credit given etc. etc.

Does it have to be modified? I have a few nice old cars from 1962 to 1980, but only 2 are currently modified, and only lightly (brakes, carby, ignition etc.). That is of course leaving out the Transit, which is Dad's really ( I just did all the work , and drive it more than he does ;D) which I am sure qualifies automatically.

I like long walks, especially when they're taken by people I don't like.

I know it's frowned upon in some circles to run wide 13s on Minis...but who cares! They look so good! Nice car 1380bloke!

Welcome Mr Scrap sir! The Benz is looking quite awesome!

Ooo, hello forum... Thought I'd better registerand say hello. Hello. Hello,.. Your Benz is looking the business,.. truley big pimpin' hehe ,.. has it got bounce or are the pumps used for lowering/raising etc.?
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
No bounce or even uppy-downy yet Pumps are in, but still waiting for rams etc to turn up from the states. They are nutcase pumps, and there are plenty of batteries, so it should hop/move pretty well ;D Not quite a retro ride, but more fun than the modern plastic nonsense out there...

Retro is a fairly loose term round here,.. interesting is probably more appropriate,.. but we just generally lean towards the old vehicles ,.. Looking forward to some bouncing when your rams arrive.
