    Retro Rides Gathering 2014

    After what I think was a successful weekend at the gathering this year, I thought I would start a thread with 12 months notice, to gauge interest in having a VPCUK stand next year, costs are quite low at £30 for a weekend pass or £7.50 for a day ticket in advance or £10 on the day. If there is enough interest then I'll organize it all.

    what you have to remember is that all our cars are actually to new, so to be allowed in we have to be in the spirit of the event, so if it's newer than 1991, then it needs to be "inreresting", so a shiny P2 with no obvious mods won't cut it.

    Cheltenham is just down the road from me 30 miles.... I'm deffo 17th, might even do the 15th. It would be good for VPCUK to show the public that we are a serious Club.... Great idea Colin I like it and will support it.

    The interest in our cars was fantastic this weekend, and it's nice to be appreciated by non Volvo owners.
