I was driving by mondello yesterday and heard the distinctive sound of throttle bodies.
A quick google said it was the retro stock track day.
I was on the way to collect a toolbox from Halfords for the young lad so me and him jumped out and send the rest on their way. "collect us about 5"!!!!

Twice yesterday owners of cars came over and asked if my little lad wanted to get in and anyone there was friendly and sound. Big thumbs up for these guys.
They have two a year and some cool stuff does be out with a genuine good bunch of lads, certainly all I've met anyway.

Everyone likes pics, please bear in mind these are from my phone and in general I'll have my head stuck under a bonnet and dont really care about pics (I'm a lad who's been to may shows and have about 20 photo's in total and most of them are of Richard Burns cars (Autosport exhibition one year)

The day is a show and a track day with drift sessions also (these bucks can pedal).
Huge mix of cars from new ST fiesta's to MK1 escorts to a BTCC Sierra.

Any way any questions ask.

Now this is an unasuming looking yoke right?
Then I spotted a set of rally slicks on the back and thought "this needs a closer look".

Thanks for posting, great pics.

I was planning on going myself yesterday afternoon but witnessed a tree fall on a car in front of me a couple of miles from my house, it was dangerously windy, luckily they were ok, just a bit shaken, needless to say I was a bit spooked after that and ended up parking up for the day.

Thanks for sharing.

You're too modest with your view on your pic taking skills or was junior behind the camera lol

Looks like a 300TD in the Merc, I'd say it's mental, pick of it on the rolling road on the Retrostock FB page.

Great range of machinery.
