I do like more mundane everyday cars you no longer see though. Where was this gathering 🤔 Gary . it was a charity run for classic cars with more modern interesting cars (although given mine was allowed to enter that should give you an indication that the definition of interesting is quite broad, the emphasis being on raising money for the neonatal unit at MK hospital). Here's another selection (the Jeep wasn't officially part of the run, but did follow the same course) of runners. And in case you're wondering, I only blanked the plate out on mine as it;s the only car where a random internet viewer could match car with owner. Anyway, the run, known as the MK Classic, went from just north of Dunstable, then a couple of laps of the Millbrook Alpine Course, up to Sywell and back to Silverstone. Usually in the past it has ended up at The Wing, but this year Japfest was at Silverstonbe so we finished at the golf club instead. 19 hours ago, stevehnz said: Yes, a lot, especially the Datsun coupe(240Z?) & the Vauxhall Magnum coupe, I always like the look of them, some very tasty motors there all in all. Steve. Technically both of the Vauxhalls are Firenzas as they pre-date the introduction of the Droopsnoot which was when the Magnum name appeared in the UK (or so I'm led to believe). But I agree there were some very nice cars there. 6

Windy37 Posted April 24, 2023 Posted April 24, 2023 Quite a day out @Spiny. Being able to drive at Millbrook is something ! And all for a great cause . My brother had an orange Focus ST . That 5 cylinder engine always sounded awesome 👌 Gary . 1

Nope, can't decide, I'll have all three please (& chuck in the 240Z & Imp too!) If ever my euromillions numbers came up (fat chance!!) I'd have a (big) garage full of cars like that! Nice pics Spiny, looks like an enjoyable day out Keith 4 2
Six97s Posted April 25, 2023 Posted April 25, 2023 The DS I mentioned a couple of weeks ago. I had time to stop and take a photo today. 14

paul-muc Posted April 26, 2023 Posted April 26, 2023 After the end of Corona restrictions we had the first oldtimer meeting in Munich. The day started cloudy and rainy, but we got also some sunshine in the end. There were a lot of cars and a lot of people. I've taken more than 300 photos, most of them useable. So I have updated the galleries at the Revell forum with a bunch of pictures and this is a very small selection. If you are looking for Brits you find them here. 20
bigbadbadge Posted April 26, 2023 Posted April 26, 2023 Hi all Visited a wet Dungeness for a Retros meet, not a lot turned up due to the weather but thought these may be of interest Lovely understated RS2000 Cool Avenger, sounded good driving off too Could quite happily have this in my garage, a lovely 944 Crikey a Nova saloon, not seen one of these for years, looked cool Great colour and cool wheels As it was raining took the opportunity to take the now raised Polo rather than get my Fastback wet, drives really nicely now Chris 13
Spiny Posted April 26, 2023 Posted April 26, 2023 Always great to see an unmolested hot Ford, I'd definitely have that one. Not sure on the Nova, think I would have preferred to see that one unmolested too, but each to their own. 2

Alvis fitted these to quite a few of their pre war models. 1 hour ago, bigbadbadge said: Great colour and cool wheels Always liked the original Mamba wheels (not to be confused with the crude modern repro ones). If I ever had a Mini, I'd want it with a set of these! (Already have a set of the pukka 13" ones on a '61 AH Sprite Mk2). 1

Vince1159 Posted April 27, 2023 Posted April 27, 2023 Oh look at that Avenger what a beauty,always wanted one because my dad had one when i was young but his was a silver estate.... 2
Vesa Jussila Posted April 27, 2023 Posted April 27, 2023 Okay not new, but fanny. I think this is sport STW 🤣 6

Thanks fella it's been a bot of a mare getting the new Suspension set up right, but done now and had to set the front wheel alignment myself too but pleased as drives perfectly . The wheels are Golf mk2 late driver wheels , they really suit it too, even got the centre caps for them but looks better without them. Pleased it's all done now, paint can wait a bit Chris 1

Owner had bought a 968 to replace it and couldn't be bothered with the hassle of getting it fixed. I decided I couldn't either..... how I now wish I hadn't been so lazy....!! 🤣 K 4
