I can see what you're saying - I didn't go last year, but went the year before...it was pretty empty, and the weather was typical for Santa Pod :lol:

I still enjoyed watching some drag racing though, and as the rex doesn't get out much, it made a change ;)


I'll go this year, as it's on my birthday, and it'll be my only trip to the Pod in 2 years...I'd rather not have the only FB there though...so come on guys, don't leave me alone amongst all those RX8s :?

on a sort of related note, do we have to get rotorstock tickets from MRC or can we buy on the gate?

IIRC they send all the tickets out in a big bunch nearer the event. :) Haven't ordered mine yet!

Our stand is upto 8.5 cars now. There's a guy with an old 323 who was looking to tag on a stand on the retro rides forum sho I said could join in on the side of our stand. The word stand is overly formal for retro rides gathering, so it just means he'll be parked near us :) and the .5 is a maybe from Jojo with her Rx4.

Good Man! Make sure you say hello. I have a piece of NZ/Chevette memorabilia that i collected in my Chevette owning days that i keep meaning to send you. It is just a postcard but quite cool.

It says on the website that tickets will go out on the 30th of July.

Shame that you won't have a Mazda to bring Ian. Still if whatever you're coming in is older than mid 90s and has a 'retro feel' we can park you with us on the stand.
