Hi all. I own a Skoda Felicia rallycar. Earlier this year it had a little mishap...  so I've just bought a replacement bodyshell from the driver of this beast:  He's the author of the very detailed Skoda Rally Blog, and is contesting Wales Rally GB this year in his Felicia. He preps the car himself and runs it from a garage in his garden, with a great deal of effort spent on developing what would otherwise be a really uncompetitive car. It's an old-fashioned approach, which is a dying art in rallying at international level. The comittment is impressive - it reminds me of some of the stuff I've seen on here. It's the Retro Rides spirit!He's selling advertising space on his car to raise funds, so I thought... How cool would it be to have the RetroRides logo on his car!!! His cheapest space is £50, so if me and 9 other people bung him a fiver each we can get  infront of a huge audience. Anyone interested? |

I've just bought a space on the boot of his Skoda for my car leasing website after reading this thread. Robg2, he owes you a pint.
I'd rather give the money to him than give it to google for a months pay per clicks.
