Race Retro 2012

Live action sessions on Saturday are
Session A - Saturday 26th Feb, 11.15am until 12.45pm
Session B - Saturday 26th Feb, 2.15pm until 3.45pm

So if we say 1:15pm, that should give anyone thats outside time to get back in and me time to get rid of the outdoor gear and change camera lenses

Ill definately be up for meeting you all at the show. Ill have a look at CDM's model display (and get my Fielding 6R4 model too) about 1ish then meet everyone at the rest area Chris mentioned at 1.15? Be good to see all of you

I forgot to thankyou for informing me of ferret David, god help me (and my wallet) if I see he has updated his 6r4 picture files. When I bought nearly £100 worth at the nec last year he said he needs to update the 6r4 folder so be nice to see what he has. I am after a really nice but rare pic of a 6R4 from ferret to scan in and then have printed on canvas for my room.

One question aswell everyone, does anyone think there will be any sellers at the show that will have compressors and airbrushes for sale? I know there are quite a few tool sellers and that but just wondering if there might be chance of getting a compressor and airbrush while im at the show and try to get a good deal.

No probs Nicky - but try and leave a couple of his photos for me mate!

It looks like I might miss you lot as it's looking more likely that I'll be there on the Sunday instead.

I will do mate, got enough money going out on models on payday so will only get a couple if there are any 6r4 photos that are very special. Ill be glad when its payday in March as I get a bonus so will have that for models, while I save for my next car.

Ah thats a bummer mate Would have been great to see you again. I will text you if there is anything for sale 6r4 wise you might be interested in

Yeah I have just had it confirmed - I will only be going on the Sunday this year mate. I agree, it would inded have been good to catch up for a chat over a pint.

Cheers Nicky - not that I'll have that much money to spend myself mind you.

Nicky you wouldn't know what you might find in the autojumble, it'll be a case of having a good rummage around, if I see anything on any of the stalls on Friday I'll pm you Friday evening with locations so your hunt time will be reduced on Saturday

Cheers mate that would be great! Looking forward to it now

On the boat waiting to leave Dublin Port woohoo, can't wait for the show to start tomorrow

Have a safe crossing Peter!

Hopefully will have time on Saturday to meet up perhaps in between the rally car runs? Have some money in my pocket burning a hole that I'm planning to spend in the Autojumble however it usually seems to have a negative effect on how much I find when I'm planning to spend! Hopefully will be able to pick up a copy of the new Mklein book and fill some of the last few gaps in my Rallysport and Rally Car magazine collections at least...

Plenty of models for sale and a few people doing deals when you buy stuff, got a few cars I wanted and bases for a wee project I want to do

Any interesting 6R4 models Peter?

No nothing that stands out. Chris' display of GroupB cars looks very well.



Anyone looking for the Transt van, Mk2 and trailer combo bring lots of money, seen them on one stand for £50

Just found out that Charlie Blaney is doing the stage in his ex John Price 6R4. be good to see that on the stage too! Going to take my model case to get signed by Jimmy Mcrae tomorrow for the 86 Corte Ingles Model

OK Peter, and thank you for the 'heads up' on Chris' display.......

Nice thought Nicky, but if either you, Peter, or anyone else has any advance notice of any other 6R4 or Rover 'celebs' present on Sunday, then please just give me a nod here thank you! I wouldn't mind taking a few models to get signed if at all possible.......

Have a good day tomorrow lads!

A few pics from today














see I didn't spend all day spending money

Great pics, love Chris's displays

Nice pics Peter, cant wait until tomorrow now

I'll be going on Sunday too...with the rest of the "Clan"

I'd recommend people to check out the Pop Bang stand during the day where Ian Cook creates his fabulous "paintings" He did a Morgan today, think he plans to do a rally car tomorrow, I threw out the suggestion for a 6R4 so we'll see what happens. It's great to go back every few hours and see how he is progressing with his work of art

I saw him at the Autosport show, definitely very clever paintings

One more before I hit the hay


Think she's over fueling boss

Great show was made better earlier with 2 runs on the live stage in a pair of Mk2s, happy camper now

Had a great day at the show yesterday, lovely weather outside for the rally stage some nice sights and sounds

Chris' group B display was excellent, some really interesting models in there.

Nice to meet up and chat to Chris, top bloke, nice to put a face to the name

Sorry I missed meeting up with Nicky and Peter, but got waylayed watching the cars outside and didn't get round to Chris' stand till about 4.30pm, glad you had a good time chaps

The Stobart Mk2 was mint, lucky you Peter to have a ride in it well done mate
