Czech Wrecks Rally - We did it!

Wow, what an event! Myself and two friends took a £100 Volvo 240 GLT and drove it to Prague as part of the Czech Wrecks Rally. We covered 1800 miles across Europe and had an amazing time.

We also have raised over £2000 so far for charity - the Cardiomyopathy Association!

You can read our blog about it all here:

The car was awesome. Not a single problem in 1800 miles - covering long motorway journeys, steep mountain passes (including the Stelvio), city congestion. Amazing. I love those things! Totally indestructable!

North West Classic Car Show - Southport

Not a bad event! Some fascinating machinery, a bit too many "moderns" though IMO. Photos are here!

Yes, one of them IS me.

Classic and Retro Show, Santa Pod

OH BOY!

The highlight of the year for any retro-car lover. Absolutely stacks and stacks of fascinating machinery, and some brilliant racing down the drag strip.

We Retro-riders had MASSIVE presence, by far the biggest stand of the whole show.
