Early bird tickets are on sale now!

I say this every year BUY YOUR TICKETS NOW last year the weekend camping tickets sold out in 2 weeks, If you can't make it you can re-sell them on the Retro Rides forum as there will be loads chasing them

P.S. If you haven't received the early bird email PM Me

Right Guy's if you want Weekend Tickets they go on sale tomorrow at 8.30am seeing they sold out within 2 weeks you need to get your tickets in the next couple of days.

Just spotted this on the RR forum, Better Be Quick

Weekend tickets are available in the store. 'early bird' was just early access to them. We've sold about 93% of our total allocation of tickets :o  I expect the last few to gradually go out the door over the next couple of days.

Hello! Long time no post! We got our tickets too, but bought one for the boy which isn't needed as he's under 16, so we have a spare. Let me know if anyone needs one!

Looking forward to this weekend. I'm a complete retro-rides newbie so I have a few naïve questions.

I have booked the club126uk stand with 12 places lets see if we can fill them :$

Do we still get the stand if it's only half full?
What happens during each day?
And at night do we just bring camping equipment and sleep next to our cars?

Yes I just have to give them the final places we need

At night do we just bring camping equipment and sleep next to our cars?

Yes bring your camping gear and a warm sleeping bag

What happens during each day?

The campsite opens at lunchtime,  bring food/beer for Friday: evening there is a shop in the village but its cheaper to buy in the big supermarkets, We eat and have a few beers/drinks and socialize with our fellow retro riders, Saturday: - Breakfast and shopping in the morning then chill eat and drink the rest of the day, Sunday: show Day

Part 1 of the journey down today: Orkney to Glasgow
Going to stay here a few days before commencing Part 2 on Friday (Glasgow to Worcestershire)

After fitting a new starter, new pump and new engine and carb gaskets, the BIS made it without breaking down!
Although there's oil spilling from the carb onto the rocker cover... so the carb gasket didn't last long (or would it be something else I wonder)

Will be taking it to the garage on Monday to fit new gearbox mounts.

That's an epic journey, The oil will be coming up through the breather its common and nothing to worry about its usually the rubber gasket on the metal housing on top of the carb that isn't seated properly, check the oil level isn't too high

See You Friday ;D

I was hoping to come to Retro Rides this year, but I'm not going to get my new starter motor installed in time for the weekend.

Will go to Kop Hill Climb event in September instead.

Part 2 of the trip down to Retro Rides. I would have posted this when I arrived at the campsite but I didn't have a computer, so formatting/resizing the photos into forum thumbnails wouldn't have been easy. Not to mention the lack of phone signal.

(https://s9.postimg.org/657uza03f/IMG_4168.jpg) (https://postimg.org/image/657uza03f/) (https://s9.postimg.org/oytnw9ybf/IMG_4172.jpg) (https://postimg.org/image/oytnw9ybf/) (https://s9.postimg.org/ghu5lctmj/IMG_4176.jpg) (https://postimg.org/image/ghu5lctmj/) (https://s9.postimg.org/pe4xpak8r/IMG_4183.jpg) (https://postimg.org/image/pe4xpak8r/)

Left to Right:
- Although I can tolerate and even get used to the motorway engine noise, past experience has taught me that it'll start ringing in your ears once you go to bed/a quite room. The ear plugs are quite effective in stopping this.
- Hello England
- Cumbria seemed to have the most scenic part of the M6
- Sunset as I was passing West Bromwich

Got a message through facebook  that there was a guy  looking for a stand to show his modified 1999 Fiat 126, the car is 90% finished and fitted with a Seicento 1100cc sporting engine and full Hydraulic Suspension the whole installation is awesome 8)

Thanks Carl for bringing your 126 along it certainly was a crowd stopper...
