Name - Mikey From - Milton Keynes Seen on better days, it's not very well at the moment but will almost certainly go back on the road when I get around to it..  I'm more a cyclist though, as we don't use roads in Milton Keynes (it was built from scratch with a separate network for bikes) so this is how I get about..  Was a regular on Clubpolo for several years, they have a good annual show just gone, but i'm not about much these days. If the nippa takes an interest I could be attending many shows in the coming years though.

Name : Sam Retro/Interesting Cars Owned : 1971 VW Beetle. In a thousand rusty bits at the moment. Here it is in happier times:  I also possess a 1974 VW K70, but that's provisionally sold to a friend as it's mullered beyond my ability to fix.  Shows Regularly Attended : VW Action, Stanford Hall VW Show, NEC Classic Motor Show Flickr : www.flickr.com/photos/93233071@N06/sets/Photobucket (no longer updated, I now use Flickr!): s118.photobucket.com/user/SamageShowAlbums/library/?sort=4&page=0What are you hoping to do here: Share pics of car shows I go to. I admit I've been a bit quiet on this front recently. Anything else we should know?: VWs are my primary interest, but I generally like anything wheeled and interesting. I also like modern hot hatches.

My company Facebook page: www.facebook.com/townleyinsurance What are you hoping to do here: I came here years ago after getting tired of Pistonheads which was my intro to car forums.

Facebook : www.fb.com/freshandminty - purely a blog on my cars and related bikes / radio flyer / etc. basically a way for "car friends" to see what I'm up to with my car (warts and all) without having to see all my holiday / family snaps etc. What are you hoping to do here: I love all kinds of interesting and retro cars and styles as well as fitting universal retro parts to modern cars. Hanging around here helps to follow other peoples ups and downs of owning older cars without me getting my fingers burnt (financially) or hands greasy. Although the more I'm here the more I'm getting tempted to owning classics again. Anything else we should know?:Hmmm not that I can think of ... Maybe my motto ... Modifying unique cars to make the roads interesting

Adrian 'retro Ade' Ludbrook.
Current fleet.. '88 BMW 325i cab '95 Honda Del Sol ESi
Shows.. East Coast Retro monthly meets. Bury Retro car club. Showing the Beemer on the East Coast Retro club stand this Sunday at Roadzsta 2 custom and classic show, Weeley (nr Colchester).
Facebook.. Smart Clean Mobile Valeting
Hi all, I'm Adrian from Ipswich. Always been a fan of older cars, in particular 80's Germans. Few highlights from my former fleet.. '84 635 CSi manual, '85 728i manual, '86 Nissan Bluebird ZX Turbo saloon, couple of W124 Mercs (great cheap daily drivers), various hot hatches, you get the picture. Also into general retro stuff, do a bit of furniture upcycling and trading in items like clocks, watches, lamps etc. Main business is my mobile valeting. The one that got away, the 635i, really regret selling that car. What's next on the wish list? Really fancy a Merc coupe or a good W123, and really like the idea of a 70's Brit, either a Dolly Sprint or a P6, but both scare the bejeezus out of me in the running costs category. Only now getting into the show scene so hopefully I'll meet a few from here in the flesh over the coming months. Finally, a confession, I like banger racing. I live a short walk from Foxhall Stadium and spend many a Saturday night having a few beers at the oval. I apologise in advance to all Jag, P5, MG Magnette etc owners for this guilty pleasure! Be lucky, Ade.
