Old RR crew

[dave j]

I used to lurk on there as liked a lot of the cars, I even have a RR sticker in my camper still although I was only thinking last week that I should take it off

Underside of a MK2 cortina estate suffice?😁

I still browse the build thread on retro rides from time to time. Some good builds still happening on there.

Bruce was a total legend to me. He was Chauffeur on my wedding day. Drove his Merc from Bristol down to Devon for the day, drove my Mrs to the venue and then both of us back.

Wasn’t he the one with that fantastic partially burnt and then autocrossed early Porsche 911?

I can’t find any pictures of it now (and googling «burnt out porsche» isn’t half depressing), but I thought it was absolute perfection at the time.

This was in the heyday of meaningless jacked up Safari 911 wannabees, outlaaawwrrrrgh Magnus Walker worship, and Singer diamond stitch leather clad engine bay wankery. And that thing just looked hard as nails.

It was Mike Burroughs for whom they nursed the biggest hard ons. 
And he was a moron.

That guy that built medusa was a complete legend, and from my discussions with him, a gentleman too.

Can't remember his name tho🤦

Thanks

But it was Robert who built Medusa, clever and resourceful and a gentleman. 
 

I built the Rezin Rockit MX5 Jeep. 
 

Genius.

Talking about that hideous 505, it actually made me a shitload of money both times it was raffled.

To be fair a lot less hideous in the last photo! I vaguely remember reading something about that car having a load of cobbled together suspension bits to make the wheels sit so far outboard.

Pretty ironic that RR seems.to have died a death while AS remains so busy.

Because it's a forced jollity dictatorship. If you haven't got anything nice to say, say nothing,

My fucking arse!!! How do they expect any meaningful discourse?

Anyway they've blocked you from accessing it if you're using a VPN now, so fuck em.
