The current collection has grown over the last 10 years and now peaked so no more are needed. I'm an active member with the Worcester Retro club and can always be found tinkering on my drive. Ill be attending the RRG later this month then hope to take 3 cars to the Classic and Coffee morning over at Redditch which will be my last planned show effort. Its then time to knuckle down to get the winter projects sorted!! forum.retro-rides.org/thread/199398/1981-metro-maestro-montego-fleet

Name: ciaran Location: Livingston Cars: mk2 golf vr6 turbo S1 106 Rallye Suzuki sj416 Kangoo van with Clio 172 cup conversion I've been on here for a while, but never been as active I should be/wished I was, so thought I'd reintroduce myself and try become a more active member! Ive always been into retro cars, I've owned a couple of modern cars, but always ended up regretting it, selling them at a loss and going back to retro, so I've learnt my lesson now Looking to sell a couple shortly to put the money to a house, and maybe buy a cheap retro to keep me going until I have somewhere and can buy a proper project again Hopefully see you around at some shows, although I can't make RRG this year

No, me neither... Shows Regularly Attended : Classic Nostalgia, Earls Barton CCM, Various events at Silverstone, trackdays (not driving the RAV), Bicester Heritage Sunday Scramble. Lots of other random stuff, usually on the spur of the moment. Twitter, Instagram : flingstam, and flingstam (I made up my own username by randomly stabbing at letters, so it's fairly unique) flickr, because I take a lot of photos wherever I go... www.flickr.com/photos/81033992@N02/albumsDrivetribe, because that's still a thing, isn't it? : Random Activity Vehicles drivetribe.com/t/random-activity-vehicles-ZjENHg9lQ6CeLOKb92_fMQ?iid=CAqd1RRISrCSe5dvW6bxzgWhat are you hoping to do here?: Obsess about random car stuff, pretty much what I do everywhere else.

Hi, been lurking as a guest for a short while.
Name: Kevin
Location: Northumberland (adopted home, from Essex originally)
Retro/Interesting Cars Owned: 1993 Mx5
Shows Regularly Attended: None yet, hope to change that
What are you hoping to do here: Pick up some inspiration
Anything else we should know: I have a car obsessed 12 year that's getting to the point that he wants a project of his own. I may possibly have been the least practical person in the world at one point, slowly changing that so we can learn together.

Name: Ben Location: New Forest, Hampshire Retro/Interesting Cars Owned: Peugeot 106 XSi Toyota Starlet GT Turbo Eunos Roadster mk1 Toyota MR2 Turbo Rev 3 2 x Datsun 280ZX 2+2 Honda Integra Type R DC2 Toyota Celica GT4 ST185 I signed up some time ago back when I was playing around with a couple of Datsun 280ZX's, on the hunt for parts and info. Ended up breaking one and selling the other to a bloke from Bulgaria and going back to what I know - 90's Japanese sports cars. Have had the Celica GT4 for a few years now and been slowly playing with it. TBH I get just as much enjoyment out of it when just playing around in the garage as when driving it. Just as well really as its definitely a fixer-upper! Started getting back into documenting my car tinkering on a blog recently....mostly for preservation of what i've done to the vehicle. If it's of interest to anyone else then that's a bonus - www.autojumbled.co.ukI actually have some 280ZX parts parts left kicking around a unit somewhere - should do a stock take really and see whether there's enough to scrape together some spending money....

Name : Chela Location : Crystal Palace Retro/Interesting Cars Owned : Toyota Hiace Series III Shows Regularly Attended : Motorsports at the Palace What are you hoping to do here: Hoping to get help/advice on repairs and improvement to the camper; anything from how-tos, where to get spares and what not to do. Since buying the van about 5 years ago it has been very reliable so far I have replaced the alternator and starter motor and done a bit of filling of holes with fibreglass on the front bumper. There is a lot of rust on the body which I am looking to return to presentable state. The engine is good but it will need a bit of care and attention as the van is 30+ years old. Basically there is a long list of things to do and how I go about it will be determined by a complicated equation involving time, money, ability, availability of spares, motivation and so on.
