Pracitical Classics Restoration Show at the NEC

3 days flew by, great as usual to see so many varied cars, people working on them (as opposed to the one in November), and just like-minded people to talk to.

Ultimate Dubs 2023

Arrived home safely again after a visit to Ultimate Dubs 2023 in Telford. Was great to simply meet up with some like-minded Rocco-fanatics again, evening meal at a Toby carvery and subsequent couple of bevvies in Telford's finest bars :-D My pics of cars of interest (for me at least :pilot: ) Tempest

Cars in the Park, lichfield 12/9/2021

Took the Corrado to Cars in the Park in Lichfield today, weather held up (mostly) and spotted a very tidy Mk1 Rocco, see pics (link further below). Was the only Corrado, but love the variety of makes and models at this event.

Re: Happy Christmas!

Same here, hope everyone has had a good one despite the restrictions of wherever you are.

Here's hoping for a better 2021, more car meets (well, more than one anyway).

Re: Lovely view [emoji6]

Top view! Sunny weekend ahead now, too, at least here in the MIdlands, hope in Wales, too.

Re: Wilhelm Schwebe, Karmann chief construction engineer, passed away

Drove 2 laps of honour for Schwebe, one lap in my Mk1 Rocco, the other one in my Corrado (the C was Schwebe's all-time favourite car that he has worked on at Karmann).

Re: ultimate dubs 2020 video

Nice video, summarising the event quite nicely, and manned to slip one event in before the Corona chaos kicked off.
