Retro Rides Gathering

[dollywobbler]

Yeah, I know some don't like RR, but I quite fancy the idea of a load of shite going around the sprint track. I plan to be there scraping the door handles on my 2CV, unless I've got something even less suitable for track action...

 

 

After the hugely successful 2008 event Retro Rides Gathering is returning in 2009, bigger, better and more action packed.

 

Sunday 16th August will see the Retro Rides Gathering head to the Haynes Motor Museum, Sparkford, Yeovil, Somerset. As in previous years the show will have the finest Retro machinery representing the wide range of vehicles in the retro scene from hot rods and customs through to circuit racers and stock dailys. In addition to the fantastic line up of cars there will be traders, show prizes, cars from the museum offering rides and for 2009 the Retro Rides Gathering has RWYB sprint track action on the Sparkford circuit.

 

Cost of entry is £15 per car, so fill up with as many people as you can fit and make a great day out. Booking an advanced entry pass through the website will also get you one free pass to the museum. For full details of the show head to www.retroridesgathering.com

 

Club displays are very welcome, for more info head to the website.

Rather splendid when at Mallory , lets hope its just as good... Shite mobile earmarked, just gota sort the flappy padle gearbox out (in other words gearstick is loose)

I've done Sparkford circuit in a Range Rover running on hydrogen (no, really!).

[Mr Lobster]

I'm planning to go. Probably in the R4 I think.How about having an Autoshite stand then? Anyone interested? I'd be happy to do any organising if required?

TELL US MORE

[dollywobbler]

Autoshite stand sounds fun, though I'll be there on 'business' - very low key though!

[pandamonium]

Sounds awesome. I plan on putting beaded seat covers on the Avenger and buying a Fue orange air freshener. I already have a tartan picnic mat!

[Negative Creep]

I'll be going to this, nice to have an event that's pretty local as well. Will be about the time I put the Datsun up for sale as well so am hoping to get some interest there

[Station]

Fue orange air freshener.

Where can you get these from?! With a pin!

[garycox]

Ooh, an AS stand would be great, I might even get my 100% Autoshite-spec Mini on the road for it! You lucky people...

[pogweasel]

Well if I go, I guess it'd better be in disguise!

[trigger]

I hear that oldskool is going, He wants a chat with you...

[MrDuke]

I'd totally be up for joining the AS stand, except that my shite-spec ride has colour-coded bumpers... I mean, I could spray them satin-black for the occasion, I suppose...

I would love to go to this, bit of an epic jaunt though down to Yeovil. Gonna have to see how the finances stack up a bit closer to the time I think.

Same here. It's a pretty long haul from Louth to Yeovil! Don't think I have anything else on that weekend though.

[Mr Lobster]

Yeh its a fair old run for me too from deepest Lancashire but should be worth it I fink.

[Pillock]

Since it's £15 per car, anyone travelling a fair distance just put whether you'd mind a passenger to share petrol costs.... I don't think I'd have a suitably shite ride but I'd love to go

[nigel bickle]

Aiming to be there-hopefully in something daft.

[Mr Lobster]

So is it worth contacting the relevant RR bods about having an Autoshite stand or are we all going to mingle?

[binhoker668]

I might be down there around that time - would a dirty punto with the bumper metal stapled together and a sticker wot sez 'BOLLOCKS' on the back help the A/S stand at all?I could take one of the wheels off and put it up on bricks or something......No seriously!
