Then, pull your finger out and get your ticket bought, they'll probably be sold out in a couple of weeks.

Just one bump for this, don't whine that I didn't give everyone notice about this event this year.

[QUOTE=T5frankie;579982]how much just for the sunday? it seems its 30 quid for the whole weekend[/QUOTE]
Not sure, but I think it's £10, but to be honest the Sunday by itself is missing the point of the Show, it's all about the Camping.

I suspect that camping tickets will all be sold out within a couple of weeks, what do you mean 'where is it'?

Off course, definately not an eco-wagen weekend and the T5-R will be looking as best I can get it, considering it is my daily and it has 257378 miles on the clock and the 2 previous owners weren't that careful with her, but I am starting to become more considerate towards her as I realize how lucky I am to have a manual T-5R

It's not quite there yet, but a little mapping session on Saturday with Adrian certainly has helped things, the journey home was a lot more pleasant than the trip there.

Post 637426 by dreadnought on 2013-08-21 17:00:54
man, theres a bit of a debate going on over at RR at the moment about post 91 cars going up the hill.
as ive said over there if we paid to go, made the effort to queue then why shouldn't you. luckily my 740 was 1990 so ive escaped the argument. but it was nice to see a load more bricks there this year.
bigger turbo and some chips for mine before next year.lol
Post 637429 by Biff on 2013-08-21 17:28:22
How with the life span of modern cars can they not say they aren't retro? Mine is 15 years old, not many 15 year old performance cars can still be used daily.

You can tell that you are coming out of the corner hard by the rear tyre nearly coming off the rim lol.looks good though and I think you should blow that pic up and put it on your living room wall.that pic is quality weldone for whoever took that pic

has told everyone since we got back "we went to retro rides, AND we went up the hill with turbo power".
also he pointed out every other Volvo there.

Funny you should ask, this is part of a quote from Dave (RetroRides Forum owner) "However we hope to be running another event next year (still in the planning and negotiation stages) which will be able to service these folk, so that should relive the pressure a bit." this is in response to the debate about modern cars going up the hill.

Biff, I think you missed the point the hill is not a competition( NO TIMING ) it is a run up the hill at a speed you feel is within your skills and if you mess up there's only one person to blame, every one else in the paddock may be pee'd of that you've lost them some run time, so careful runs within your driving skills is order of the day ( which worked nicely in our session as we got 5 - 6 runs and the other session got 3)
Post 637788 by Jamest5r on 2013-08-22 20:24:40
Watching that video brought a smile to my face :), remember watching last year's and saying to myself "im doing that next year", im so thankful i did it was honestly the most fun ive had in my car in a long time, only regret is not getting Mrs Mole to video the run she had with me silly mistake.

Who said anything about timing? It doesn't have to be timed to have fun. Which looks more fun? Pre91 or post 91. I reckon ours would persuade a few & I can assure you I plan on driving mine home. The hill climb can't be that much different to a few of my mates farms. Why u think the bullion is craving awd & usually covered in sheep or cow poo. Lol

cheers for the offer, but she hes a decat'd standard DP on at present, may have to look at a 3" turbo back system and I know I'm down on grunt compared to you and Col, but I think I will have to look at ratios, as the acceleration between the hairpins in your car is amazing.
