7 days in and I don't think we've talked about this yet.
What, in terms of your Retro lives, are you hoping to achieve over the next 12 months.
Let's keep it relevant to our shared hobby, and positive.
Here's my list -
- Get the Toledo fit for carrying my little lady safely, so we can go out as a family in it
- Get the Rochdale to a point where I would be happy with you guys poking it round it at a show and celebrating its 50th the right way
- Spend less time on the Web and more time working on, or driving the cars themselves (this isn't at the expense of RR time - more the pointless internet detours I can take for hours and achieve nothing)
- Book the time off work now for any shows I know I wan to go to now, to make sure I start planning; from Classics on the Common to Classic Le Mans
- Get my a**e up to the Ace as it is the nearest regular event to me
Anyone else?

- Rebuild and refit engine.
- Finish paint.
Those are the big ones at least. There's smaller stuff like buying more wheels and getting to more shows as well, but they're less resolutions and more treats I think.

Hopefully they will pan out. but with me things seem never to go to plan  . So, without further ado here we go! - Try not to fix my daily runners as much or buy ones that do (read on)
- Sort out the Stag's remaining foibles (the vibration, trim bits etc. to 'finish' it...)
- Sort the 205 out so it can be taken on longer trips (mainly the knackered sump thread and sheard thermostat housing bolt)
- Get to a few more meets than last year and try out shows that have yet to be ticked off the list
- Try not to buy another retro until I get the current two into a better working order
(That was almost broken yesterday)
Yes I do want this to be a forward moving retro year with some true enjoyment I can get from the cars. Oh, and happy Retro Resolutions to the rest of you and may you stick with 'em  . |

Get brakes sorted on 'the hulk' fiat camper, then its off for welding, sort a couple of electrical faults, and then the mot. after that, prepare it for RRG12.
The panda will need some sorting of the body, a rear arch welded in, and i still need to sort the faulty CVT.

- Do more work in the evenings in the garage (i've been doing this for the past week, an hour or two a day and I'm amazed at how much I'm getting done)
- Finish welding the amazon and refurb rear suspension by end of feb.
- "There's always something to be getting on with" A bad habit of mine where I go to do a job and for some reason can't so I kind of stand there looking instead of doing other things.
- Mega clearout/sale of tat/parts/rubbish
- Ultimately get one car finished and on the road (amazon, bedford TK, or kit car)

Stop getting distracted by shiny shiny things and skirt (glad my girlfriend can't read this... lol) and maybe finally 'finish' my flipping car. Or just get it road worthy.
Get an old (FC shape, preferably) Rex, so when the previously mentioned car breaks, I'm not stuck again.
Enjoy the year.
