Yay! Another thread descending into an argument, especially a "What is retro/what should be on this board?" one Must be at least 10 minutes since we last had one. Arrocuda, while I understand your point, we do have the occasional excursion into moderns on here, but only moderns that are worth looking at. There's a lot of love for VIP-style cars, interestingly modded Japanese motors, rat/rat-look/nu-rat/(whatever you want to call it that avoids another argument) moderns, and so on. We have this discussion on a fairly regular basis; I think the general consensus is the occasional modern is ok while things are predominantly retro. Ken Block is also a pretty regular topic, because we (mostly) love his videos, and he's the exciting new kid on the block. (Scuse the pun ;D) When the topic does come up, generally it makes for an interesting thread when it starts an informed discussion. Rather than, say, just telling new members to like it or lump it |

1989 Peugeot 205. You know, the one that was parked in a ditch on the campsite at RRG'17... the glass is always full. but the ratio of air to water may vary. |

Arrocuda is a newer member of the forum, gents. He's done some quality posts. There's a gracious way to explain the intricacies of the forum's subject matter. I don't think he meant to say anything negative. He is thinking "Retro Rides" is a retro car-only forum, when in fact, it is not. This is a quite common misunderstanding, and Arrocuda isn't the fi :Drst new fellow on the forum to not know this fact. Let's use a light touch rather than smack him around, eh guys? It is off-putting and seems inelegant otherwise. And I, for one, am an elegant gentleman at all times. ;D Hell ....didn't realise that TB was following my posts with such attention to detail but he is obviously a man of great knowledge and integrity ;D I'm not into moderns that is true but I'm also not into knocking and criticising other folk's taste in cars. We all have our own ideas of what makes a 'dream ride' and that's why I tend to stay away from the specialist manufacturers forums as I have no preference for any particular make of car. Most all the large car companies have had their design failures along with their successes so 'badge' loyalty is tough for me. Personally, it's pillarless coupes that do it for me.... it's just too bad that there were so few designs adopted over here that I have had to sell my '74 manta and replace it with a '72 and can only use it in the summer cos I still haven't figured out how to make the rear windows easily detachable. Can't beat a pillarless for looks and ride on a warm sunny day!  Is just too bad we get such lousy weather over here. |

Forgot to say that now TB has explained the situation so........ 'elegantly' I'll give the odd moderns that crop up a miss. |

Oh dear. Anyway, does anyone know if the Lixx Toll Landrover is still sitting there? Its quite a well known landmark at the roadside....  Besides, you don't necessarily need tracks to make rapid progress on snow.....    |

That's true.... and I almost bought a T reg' 280C ...... but I couldn't make my mind up whether I liked the styling or not but will probably have to buy one some day just to see Is a little bit eurofied for my liking.... prefer the american styling myself. The BMW 6 series is another that I thought maybe, maybe, maybe .......... no! |
