Join me for a very enjoyable day at the Retro Rides Gathering, Shelsley Walsh filmed on the 22nd August. Modified cars, stock cars and many vehicles with engines you might not expect! Such vehicles include a Fiat X1/9 with Honda power and a Commer camper packing a very unexpected turbo lump! Many thanks to the Young Retro Motor Club for letting me park up with them. You can find them at yrmc.co.uk as well as Facebook etc.

"Reeks of poverty" right in earshot of the owner, brilliant!

@letsdiscussitoversometea8479 3 года назад

Was that the Mk 2 Escort if I remember rightly? Strangely enough, I dreamt of driving exactly one of those (yes, poverty spec!) in light blue just a few months ago, and actually LIKING its "basicness". I think what I _really_ appreciated, is that as someone who was very poor growing up, being able to go out *in a car* was really special, rather than waiting for a bus. This car gave me something of value to appreciate. I think my mother had actually bought it and was sat in the passenger seat - I felt very thankful that she'd (somehow) been able to afford it. A *real* investment.

How lovely to see everyone out and about again and enjoying their cars in the company of fellow enthusiasts. Bliss to hear the engines!

So when you drive a "Focus" you can be seen clearly. But when you climb out of it, you're all blurry! *Out of Focus!* Get it! LOL

Hey Ian! Thanks for capturing our Land Rover and CRX as we piloted them up the hill! Was an amazing show at Retro Rides Gathering this year. Was good to see you there in Betty, especially considering the recent drama!

@bentullett6068 3 года назад

I thoroughly enjoyed my first time at this event. The car of the day that I was really impressed with was the white Honda City Turbo near where betty was parked with the appropriate Honda commuter bike in the boot. So many great cars and there. Definitely will book tickets for next year.

@whitemoor66 3 года назад

Wow! Literally dribbling at the variety on offer at this meeting! So many 'ordinary' cars that used to be everywhere and now are exceedingly rare, the Renault 19 convertible for example. Liked the reference to the Frontera too, a diesel version of which ranks amongst the worst cars I have ever driven (perhaps of that period 🤔)! Great video 👍.

@bradleisure8339 3 года назад

That Buick was a '61. I had a white '61 LeSabre convertible years ago. It was a garage find. It had been sitting for years. I drove it around for about 3 years and sold to a guy that restored it. That Dynaflow transmission is un-nerving. It never shifts and never needs to. Growing up in America in the 70's you could find all sorts of cheap convertibles. I always enjoy these car show videos. Love the '60's Cortinas and that little peanut too! Keep up the good work!

@volvo480 3 года назад

Wow, what a large event. You really have entertaining and relaxed car events in the UK, large and diverse and still not that crowded so, as we say in NL, you can walk over the heads. The unusual square headlamps on the Golf in the beginning are the same as on the US market version, perhaps someone retrofitted them?

@craigmclean8260 3 года назад

We did have the round headlamp'ed Rabbit/Golf here in the States, ca. 1975-78 models; the square headlamps appeared in the Pennsylvania-assembled models from 1979 thru '82, IIRC.

I wish we could see more of Betty when she's in a video. You only have one of the most unique vehicles anywhere in the UK of a style the UK doesn't get and she gets relegated to the background. Could we have at least seen part of the trip to the event in Betty the Fairmont??

@northstar1950 3 года назад

I actually had one of the cars you featured, the Bedford HA van, mine was registered LCH 483W. A basic simple machine that served us well.

@steved3702 3 года назад

Never had that model in Australia, only the Viva sedan before the HB was launched with a Holden identity. Perhaps Holden thought it would cannibalise sales from the full-size panel vans. Ford was prepared to offer the Escort vans in RWD generations that were sold here.

@bentullett6068 3 года назад

You do quite a bit of walking. As the field of parked cars is pretty big, then you need to climb the hill to get to the decent corner on the coarse which is pretty steep.

What a fantastic event, very impressed with the variety of classic vehicles there. But sadly, I have still yet to spot a 1984 Mitsubishi Galant 2.0 GLS. I am beginning to think that none have survived. Such an advanced car for it's time - compared to a lot of the other cars available in the UK at the time. Not had a car since that matched it for comfort and refinement. Just a shame they rusted so much.

You mentioned the little Cappuccino both seen on the track, as well as on the field, and then (briefly) the Honda Beat. Would you be interested in looking at the JDM kei car market? We need those over in this country, especially for parking reasons (don't mention safety!)

Always love the variety at Retro Rides - it wasn’t there any more by the time you got by but my care worn SD1 @ 40:50 was right next to a DB7 and (I think) a Lincoln Continental which is… just Retro Rides in a nutshell tbh. Fun fact about that SD1 - it got a full metal and paint resto done over Christmas but it’s worked almost 1500 miles in the last 3 weeks so it looks like a gigantic piece of shit :D

Ended up with a Renault 5 but have never forgot that mini.
