Just thought i would pop on a say hello to you all, have been reading the forum for a while but not completely sure my ride is old enough to be classed as retro LOL
i drive a 98 Fiat Marea weekend 2.0 20v hlx.
Gotta say loving the scene, love the gallery pics too.
cheers

Welcome to RR! You don't need to own a retro to be part of this community (after spending a while here you'll be "accidentally" buying all sorts of retro cars... it's a disease! ;D)

Yeah what they all said. You don't need what others consider a retro car to be here. As long as you are enthusiastic enjoy yourself and post cool stuff nobodys gonna complain.
I had a maria weekend in to repair a faulty wiper motor and fit new rear boot linings. There I was sitting on the back undoing the trim and you can imagine by shock as the bumper dissapeared and I ended up sitting on the pit cover. I had sat on the release button that lowers it for better access id never seen that before and was somewhat suprised to say the least

Thanks for the warm welcome, gotta say I am addicted to to em, I am on my third one now and the cheapest by far lol, my last silver one spontaneously combusted last year and tool me a while to get the one I wanted.
There pretty quick too, I ran my first one named the rat at Santa pod loved it and loved being revved past the redline, my latest one, I have done the majority of the biggest jobs, cambelt water pump, brakes are next up which I will be replacing with drilled and grooved, I have also lowered it 50mm put alfa momo leather seats in it, a small mono steering wheel and my aux gauges. Just fitted a vr6 deep chin spoiler which has been on 2 weeks although it's scuffed and has a split already lol.
It's a ongoing project which my kids love to get involved with.
Will get some pictures up very soon
Cheers
Robin

Yeah i love the retro coolness, all my mates think i am mad, when they are tooling about in much newer cars, but you know what i love the rawness of the older cars, also having owned a 85 orion 1.6 gl with 53k on the clock and a 89 orion too which was very low, i just love the scene, even down to the silly things, i managed to get a dealer supplied marea keyring, which haven't been available since 99 lol but it is one of those things that not alot of people have lol
shall i put pics up on this thread or on the pictures section?
cheers
