Hello one and all
It has come to our attention that there's a precious lack of meets/gatherings etc. in the Peterborough/Rutland/Cambridge area and as I sit here in the office pondering, I can think of at least 10 of 'us' who would like to get something started.
When I say 'us' I refer to myself (editor of Retro Cars) and a few motoring journalist buddies here in Pboro (kelsey & Bauer publishers).
So how about a show of hands for those who would be interested. It would be great to coincide it with the Pboro Motor Club and maybe do an auto solo at a local venue, have a bit of lunch and a chin wag.
So an informal meet with the added bonus of your cars appearing in magazine and paper print!
email me at retrocars.ed@kelsey.co.uk or get back on this thread. All ideas and suggestions welcome!

Great stuff, I'm also running the thread on our Facebook page: www.facebook.com/RetroCarsMagazineIt's looking promising. I need to get a wiggle on then and actually find a venue and arrange some drifty, autocross fun! |

As I said on Faceache, I'm all over this! Not enough meets this way apart from chav curse word. I also need to buy something retro again...
OK Diner is a good shout, car park is of reasonable size too.
