Busy getting my car ready for Wheels Day - paint done, MOT test this week, new carbs week after, DIY interior trimming planned after that. I feel a real pressure - and excitement - to get it all done in time. Wheels Day was a bit of a revelation to me last year, such diverse stuff, even though the weather did its best to kill it. Let's start looking forward to the events of 2010. Please post a pic that captures an event, and will start to build the excitement for the show season. God knows we need it in dark, dank February. Here's a starter -  |

It's almost as good and barely a month away - Race Retro. 13th March at Stoneleigh Park, Cov. Pretty sure these guys will be there in good numbers: www.slowlysideways-gb.co.uk/The focus this year is Audi and Alfa: [youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AEAJxMBvfm0&feature=player_embedded [/youtube] Ok, so neither films are from the event but you get the idea - nostaligia and noise and plenty of it ;D |

Al, I'll see you there! Possibly in the Lolomite. Depends on how annoyed with it I get. Though isn't Good Friday the 2nd this year? Yet they're advertising Wheels day for the 10th? Odd.  |

I'm going to fail on the photo front, but shows this year 100% : HSCC Superprix (RR day at the races I anyone?) Crystal Palace sprinting (It would be rude not to) Goodwood FoS or Revival (not sure which yet) Retro Rides Summer Slam @ Ace Retro Rides Gathering Very probably be at 80% : Volksworld Classic and Sports Car action day at Combe (with RR stand) Retro Show (with RR stand) Retro Mania (with RR stand) Would like to get to 50% : Brighton Speed Trials Some more stuff at Ace Time Attack @ Brands I'm sure some people can be kind enough to fill in the images for me  |

Just looked and it clashes with the FoS That solves that then ,... Superprix and Revival. ... FoS has some very cool stuff.. but I'd rather watch some actual racing  |

I was going to try and conservatively do one show per month....having said that January's been an automotive drought apart from tinkerings in the garage!
Is there anything on in February that's not a million miles from Newmarket?!

Let's start looking forward to the events of 2010. Forward? the year is already a month old, you've missed five weeks of events  Crystal Palace sprinting (It would be rude not to) I'm up for this, RR trip to the big smoke ;D  Might be there, which day would you go? Another first for me last year and hopeful for this year too  I was going to try and conservatively do one show per month.... I said that last year and managed an average of one a week instead  |
