	The International Tuning and Sports Show at Donnington... I was in the area so I dropped in to check out any retro content and the strippers. Its worthnoting that this show is almost as expensive as Race-Retro (why do I never check this stuff in advance?) and no way as big or as good. Some impressive stuff there, not all retro content follows... Nice Cossie, or clone thereof A series of pics of a modern Golf. Sorry, but this I really liked. Bentley themed build and a black & cream 2 tone. Superb. Cream wheels set it off nicely. Less "stylised" Golf was clean too... Mine wasn;t the only oversized American in attendance... I have no words for this... Tidy TT was on California plates. Long way to come.... Mk2 Goof was sublime. Got a verbal "OOOF" from me. Tidy boot build classy retrim and nice door build treatment Masterstroke is the MINI dash with Dakota Digital binacle! Carb fed motor is not too shabby either Bloomin' great Hummer full of Kicker ICE If I owned a modern Japanese sports car, an RX7 FD would be about what I'd be owning. Super Now here's a clean R5 back end full of Fusion ICE Euro Pug shows the rat look whats next... ROOF BOX FTW! YAH! JDM RWD DRIFT YO! And all the girls say he's pretty FLI for a white guy.... Jamie, I found your new car.... Eurolook Fester Mk-whatever shows that look works on anything I like Calibras Glowing Nissan! Fluorescent Pug or whatever it is. Metallic camo? Why not Now normally I'd crop innocent bystanders out of my photos but the guy in the brown corduroy outfit & affro is adding to my vibe here. Looks familiar? Not my thing. But check out the bonnet It like some kind of freaky dual cowl induction scoop from hell. Could this work on a retro? Skyline. I like Skylines. Also, I like this. Whatever it is. Sylvia? Theres another one coming up in a bit I'm at a loss, but I know it will find love here.... NOT AE86 RWD DRIFT YO! I liked that big style. Tidy, was detailed but not too messed with. Not sure you'd say the same about the AX. Retro love for the AX yet? I hate 'em personally. People should built 405s. Oh, look, someone has... I approve. Orange is this seasons' colour. Mk1 Goof all stripped out Bike carbs I think... No idea what this is but townie looking lads were beating off over it all day Older Ferrari in the Gumball display area Serious intercooler action for 2.0turbo Corsa. Must be fun OK, thats batch one, this PC is about to die so I'm off onto the laptop... Oh, did I mention this thread mightnot be 56K friendly?

	love 'em or hate 'em you have to admit these guys go the full 9 yards on their cars. Some interesting dash treatments, some I liked and some I didnt. I'm feeling the green, as it were. The amount of work in this one was also impressive I like to go to "off scene" shows to see whats going on and to see what ideas I can nab. I'm liking the fully fibreglassed interiors a lot. odd use of wires. "So Murial, where do you put the shopping?" You do like Orange, right? V8 what. cool plate, cool noise. Another Sylvia, or somehting like. I was thinking of painting one of mine ornage this summer but I don't think I'll bother now. Might get lost at shows.... One of the guys doign circut stuff Forget vinyl roofs, vinyl bonnets is da ting nah brah. More Skylines Tidy Mk1 Golf. With a 1.8T motor in it. Oh, and another one in the back... Clean S1 Love this colour Now when I saw this I naturally assumed someone had put LSD in my deathburger. But no, it appears to be real. And what is more odd it was driven by a bloke. And worse still, now I can see me drivign it. I need sleep. Normally slogans like this just make me wince, but this I liked as it was on the back of some megapower Skyline Gold.... Hands up, put your hands up! Give me love gimmie gimmie your love baby! Hands up! Now one of the reasons I was there today was to brush up on my indoor photo skillzorZ which SUkhZ like a hoover with a full bag. These I am almost pleased with. More curious Wires coming up Not even sure I know what this was... Awesome work though. This (contentious point coming up) made me think of a 60s kustom, like a Daryl Starbird creation or something... Its even got a name like proper Customs should! Pulsar was nice, love the simple stripework Now, I love the 70s as much as anyone but even I am not sure I'm ready for a mural revival jsut yet OK, I'm getting there... What its missing is slot mags and angel hhair. # Nu-Beetle in "looking quite nice shocker" This treatment of the covers I liked A little retro to bring us back to reality, but only for a moment cos the next stop on the line is the Alpine Mercedes Looks to me like Merc finally got something out of the whole Chrylser partnership - the blueprints to the Airflow! I can't even tell what this was. But holy mother of Chrysler its radical Those wheels are impossibly big seats built into doors? geeerrrrroooovy pedal things And I'm done

	brilliant pics, alot of the cars arent to my tastes but hats off to em for their level of dedication and attention to detail, i do quite like fg'd installs, especially when paint body colour. I'm sure ideas like that can be used in a more retro way

	I like Donny. Granted, it can be a chav-fest, but i thin its nice to see other "scenes" as its often possible to get ideas to use on other stuff. The levels of detail in some of these cars is fantastic. Nice pics sir.

	Some very nice cars there. Me and my brother only managed to see the curse word box saxo's with the ironing boards and bean tins on while on the M42/M1. There was a verrrrrry nice Evo and silver R34 Skyline with a black stripe on the bonnet though.

	Its good to see euro style carring over to hot hatches now. I'm definatly up for looking at other styles and nicking ideas ;D I like the mini dash, i've been thinking about how god one would look in a moggy minor for a while now. Dunno if a mk2 golf is the best home for one but hey ho Thats me now also thinking of crossing orange off my list ;D I like the bentley golf, like the 306 on turbos, like the corrola (AE85??) One thing i'll never understand though is why, after adding all the weight of a body kit, hoofing great ICE install, air suspension, show cage etc. Why fit nitrious? Is it to make the car as fast as it was before they added all the extra weight?

	the pink thing is owned and driven by a lass called suki or summat.it looks like utter toss to be fair,as do alot of those.but there are exceptions as some of them are very nice motors.

	There's some great ideas there. And it's nice to see some people modifying cars who aren't scared to spend a bit of cashish.

	I can appreciate the amount of work in the orange Pug but is it just me or is it missing summat round the back? Why go to all that wrk and expense and not be able to drive the damn thing! Cool tailgate Though
