I am sooooo gutted that I missed this years Drive-it Day! It’s one of my very favourite days of the season. Instead I was stuck in Goa in India leaving me with no way of celebrating our automotive hobby. The l […]

@erik , I certainly wouldn’t go as far as saying the big US bumpers make the 02 hideous. Yet, I do maintain that the design is purer and cleaner with the standard Euro bumpers. Like Tony said, quite a few l […]

Anders Bilidt commented on the post, Bump! How an American Law from April 9th 1971 Created New and Destroyed Old 7 years, 3 months ago
Purely from a design perspective, the US impact bumper legislation was quite a tragedy – especially for many European and Japanese cars. Very few managed to pull it off with their dignity still intact.

@thunderbird, not bad at all…!! :-D
Claus, there is a little part of me that agrees with you. At least so far as understanding exactly where you are coming from. Many cars – in fact, most cars – just don’t […]

It’s certainly no secret that we here at ViaRETRO have a profound appreciation of yesteryear’s workhorse heroes – both saloons, hatchbacks and estates. But with our latest four Prime Finds being saloons of varyi […]

Dave, I’m glad you found that spring seal in front of the majestic Deutsche Bank building. Without that time to reflect upon your travels, your article may not have turned out nearly as entertaining as it did. […]

I can’t help but speculate; what would a Volvo 2000 GTZ have been worth today as a classic car, if Volvo had indeed put it into production? I realise that would of course depend somewhat on how many they […]

Anders Bilidt commented on the post, How About 4,000 Datsun Spare Parts from the Seventies? 7 years, 3 months ago
A reminder that I’m lacking a classic Datsun in my garage. Hmmm… I wonder, if I bought the complete package of 4,000 spares, would I be likely to have enough to assemble my own classic Datsun from the […]

Subtle it is not!
As a concept, it’s ludicrously cool.
But would I actually want to own and drive this monster? Hmmm… no, not really. -

Among the many Italian carrozzeria, one particular always managed to somehow stand out from their colleagues. Early on through ingenious use of skills learnt in the aeronautical sector, which enabled the founder […]

Well @yrhmblhst, as disappointed as I was with you not sharing my appreciation of the Mod Top, I’m equally happy that you’re at least with me on the Cardin interior.
It would invariably make me smile every time I […] -

This past week, we have been spoilt with blue skies and fairly warm temperatures here in the High Peak and throughout the rest of the UK. I hope we’ve all made time to take our classic out for at least a small p […]

@dave-leadbetter, I’ve always loved that particular Alpina picture! The angle of attack is immense and just look at that inside front wheel dangling well beyond the edge of the inside curb. Astonishing… […]

Anders Bilidt commented on the post, Die Zitrone – A Sweet and (Occasionally) Sour Classic Journey 7 years, 3 months ago
A sobering reminder of the challenges and frustrations which do sometimes come with classic car ownership. And yes @yrhmblhst, we’ve probably all been there at some point. Still, I’m just happy that it didn’t […]

Ouuuu… there’s just waaaay too much yumminess for me to even grasp where to begin… But I suppose the obvious place would be that immense display of C111 history. Simply astonishing!! But then I spotted that […]

In the world of limited editions and special versions, fashion designers sometimes manage to bridge the gap between the fashion and the automobile industry. Nowadays it’s fairly commonplace as a crude marketing e […]

It seems that everyone idolises Tintin. So I realise it can probably be traced back to some sort of short-circuit in my underdeveloped brain, but I have always – right back to being a comic-reading kid – vastly […]

@dave-leadbetter, I’m just not entirely convinced my dear friend. Both the Starion and the Chevette look distinctly better with their stock and narrow arches. Truth be told, sometimes I feel that this applies to […]

Ouuuu… I really like this one!
Now if I hadn’t 1) very recently bought my Scimitar as my daily classic and 2) committed myself to having more diversity in my garage (i.e. fewer BMW’s), then this would have no […] -
