...here is a safe place to own up to anything that goes against the RR grain, preferably as innocent(ish) and (hopefully) victim-free as possible...

I am still waiting for an apology.

I will open by admitting that once again I have failed to purchase a retro daily, and once again I have managed to avoid the purchase of my first V8.
To misquote my favourite Maths teacher, "I've let you down, I've let myself down, I've let the whole (old) school down"

On Wednesday I shall take delivery of one of those newfangled Abarth Competizione things. New to me, not newnew.
It's in the correct colour for a sorta-sporty Eyetalian thoroughbred, it's kinda pretend-pseudo-retro, maybe?
It has carbon-backed Sabelt seats! And an LSD (we think)

Apologies... Up until 2016, the youngest car that I owned was 1967. My current daily driver is 2015 white goods & I still haven't done anything substantial to get my Amazon back on the road...  (Based on other threads on here, the interim 2001 motorised cupboard battered Pug 106 1.1 lowest base model, which we still have, is apparently retro, but to me it's just a very cheap to run & fun to drive heap.) However with the new job that I am about to start, I will havemore time for old car stuff! |

I'd like to apologise for my cube being labelled as 'cute' yesterday. Took me by suprise for such a random attack of appreciation, mainly because it not even retro and desperately needs a wash.

Lack of time, money and not having a retro has kinda been putting me off attending. 🤐😃 |

I'll be apologising to myself for dragging my ar&e on my projects. I won't be accepting the apology and will be giving myself a final warning. I will then skulk off into my workshop to hide.

I'd like to apologize for not being able to attend an RR Gathering since 2007. 🤐😃 Gaydon? I think that was my last one too  Happy memories though, and also I have recently seen a genuine Y4 RLY number plate locally    Apologies... Up until 2016, the youngest car that I owned was 1967. Crikey, we literally do match up on both years then. We must have both been mourning our downfall at the same time It was somewhat traumatic. I'd also never had to pay for road tax before. The current diesel whitegoods estate is only £30 tax though & is currently doing low to mid 50s mpg in non motorway driving. No where near as engaging to drive compared to the 106, but very comfortable & competent. In contrast, the Amazon did 25 mpg on a good day on a long run... I'd still rather have the Amazon back on the road and in full working order again though. |

I’ve apologised once, but that was a few days ago
I just never expected the terribly sad events of the last few days….
So mum I’d just like to apologise for my car hobby that always got you so annoyed when I’d gone and brought another car home,
But hey you just encouraged me more over the years when I had my own home
And lent me money right up to your very untimely and unexpected passing to buy more cars I didn’t need
thank you mum rest in peace one day we will meet again
