Hi all, anyone remember why this forum was.. still is great?! I do.. its pictures like this.. a 10.8sec volvo 240..  And the witty comments and banter that lives in all the threads.. not to mention the randomness... I had a bird curse word on my head last night at half twelve in gale force winds and screaming rain... WTF was that all about?! So I open this thread in the hpe of people adding in some call cars, some witty stories and random fun.. just as a reminder of why I at least think this is the best car forum on the net and WILL be sticking it out. |

Any more details or a link for that Volvo? I had a look around the site in the watermark but only found a gallery.    |

I love this Forum and I'll give you a few reasons why; - The people on here are open minded. This gives the confidence to post things that you wouldn't do through fear on other forums
- The combined imagination and skills of the people on here is staggering
- The forum is an example of the best type of online forums, creating a sense of community that otherwise wouldn't exist
- You can find inspiration from other people's cars and work on here every day. I wouldn't get the chance to see these cars any other way!
- The biggest majority of posters are pretty spot on, put downs and one up manship is minimal
- It has breathed new life into the scene
- The community is massive so it IS worth logging on every day
- It has played a major part in me buying another classic (ask me again in 6 months if that is a good thing
 I wouldn't be buying this car had it not been for this forum I'm sure of it
I also have a real excitement about the mods I can do to this car, inspired why what I have seen on here, not constrained by an Owners Club that would be more precious about 'originality' Anyway......Cheers Retro Rides!! |

I'll add this one too. My mate Marcos was taking pictures at Haye Park Gravel Sprint yesterday just outside Ludlow, and took this stunning shot of Andy Burton. Rally fans will know who I'm on about.....  ;D |

When ever I'm feeling down, disheartened with my car or just plain bored I always head to RR. There is ALWAYS something to cheer me up here, whether it be someone's madcap project car, some totally random picture thread or just an amusing tale. THIS is why I do this forum, because it does that for me. Also mike is winning the thread so far  (The red Opel Rekord always helps that though ) |
