Can of worms officially opened. I think age is irrelevant, each car should be taken on it's merits. M-reg metro with vvc engine - retro. M-reg rover 214 - jank!

....And that Al is sooooooooooooooo true, thats why it is so hard to define retro, some are born retro, some are made retro and some look retro!! we havent just open this run up to fords, or Opels, or Rovers....we have opened it up to all makes!!

This year we need all of your help i think for next year, we need to define what is retro!! we will have about 70 cars and roughly 100 people or more, so this years topic around the fire is what is what...we havent sold out yet so its still going to get bigger, the amounts i mean!! LOL we all have different views and outlooks, some of us have a clue some dont!!

but i tell you what......this year is gonna be massive!!

Wouldn't it be safe to say that "retro" is all about opinions then? and rather than having a discussion it would be easier for the organisors to have the final say? That way its at least controlled and not a free for all?

As Barnett, i think it was pointed out, some would say Retro is anything 70's, others 80's, or the old bloke down the road from me any thing pre 1920!

Anyway i asked a while back if there was going to be the trackday at Brands at the end of it for definite and the costs, do you have those? as i would like to know before i send my deposit it.

thanks

Eric

Prawn - why not see if you can pick up a cheap comfortable classic for your dad and sell it afterwards?

We saw a reliant robin on the 'Ring a couple of years back. Talked to the guys in the car park after they'd done a lap. Truly an inspiring feat! lol
