As ever I've come back from Retro Rides Gathering desiring half a hundred cars. Currently the Car Of The Year winner is giving me a hankering for some Mercedes Pillarless goodness... sadly they seem a fair bit more expensive than I remember www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Mercedes-230-ce-pillarless-coupe-2-prev-owners-last-owner-30-years-62000-miles-/152650278453![](http://i.ebayimg.com/images/g/DZUAAOSw20JZhITW/s-l1600.jpg) My lovely lady wife has wanted a Peugeot 205 GTi for a while now, and the show didn't do anything to help that. With the Subaru potentially on its way to replacement I may well be having to start to have a serious look for a clean unmolested one (she likes them bog stock!). These also seem to be shooting up in value. What caught your eye and got your scurrying off to ebay or various for sale places on the internets?

Currently the Car Of The Year winner is giving me a hankering for some Mercedes Pillarless? I have had a quick look but do you have any pictures of the award winners? Have seen the Panda referred to and now a Mercedes, but as a non attendee would be great to see them.

I always come back from RRG wanting a Lada or to revisit my first car and get another Dolomite. These two only add fuel to the fire... ![](https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20170824/60338d2d7334ce7f2fed4f719cea7e17.jpg) ![](https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20170824/cbf8d9a3248a80c7bcc95d2fa13bf0d8.jpg)

While I would love to have a V8 thing, this year has been a disaster from start to now and quite probably all the way until next year.
I'll be happy to just be able to attend next year in one of my own cars.
The Gathering has totally re-mojo-erised-ificated me. Sort cars, sort club stand, make it all better.

Me too ... no longer looking at the Datsun and the fuel for my mower wondering how well the whole thing would go up ![:D](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/grin.png) ... now I'm watching the video of the hill and thinking next year there will be a video of mine in there somewhere ![:D](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/grin.png)

Not hankering after anything in particular really but something RWD, turbo and unlikely to blow up on the hillclimb...and not grotty. So basically the opposite of my Golf, but that won't be going anywhere any time soon so no new car for me. ![:(](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/sad.png) I don't trust the oil system in my Golf after I got surge at Curborough before.

I really want to put an SR20DET into something old. The Sh*t Luck Garage SR20 Firenza at the Gathering got my cogs turning. I also want to do something silly with my e36 coupe now that I'm nailing together another daily.

Didn't go to the gathering this year but other than my usual huge JDM dream, the Alpine GTA itch plus many, many more, it's not really a retro ride as such but I've suddenly got a huge want for a heavily tuned Saab 9-5 wagon...

I've got a Datsun Sunny you could do... even comes with engine installed, so just take it out and put it back in a little neater ![:D](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/grin.png)

Mk3 Cavaliers for me. Never really looked at them before, kind of totally forgot they existed. Studied a couple at RRG for a little while and they are a really good looking car, quick too, and (I haven't looked) probably not too expensive for a good one either (?)
