Hi guys, just signed up yesterday. Looks like a cracker of a site you have here.

I was at this Ryhope meet, and as has been said before, what a cracker it was. I was there last year in my Sunny coupe when the heavens opened, so although I wasn't in anything retro this year (my Primera Wagon), what a pleasure it was to feel the warm late October sunshine on our backs.

I'm one of the co-owners of the Nissan Sunny Owners Clubs, so all my pics are posted on there. Here is a link to them if you fancy a dodge over there.

Thanks for that link. Looks like we had almost everything covered between us!

That 180B was certainly a tidy car, its owner is a member and posted earlier in this thread, he's incredibly modest about how good the thing actually is, fortunately your pics of it support my claim that it's in fact loads better than my phone pics made it appear. I challenge anyone from the UK to find and post a picture of a better RWD Bluebird, they're just not all that common these days, much less in that condition. I spent ages looking at it and really appreciated his bringing it along.

That Humber estate was at Brunton a fortnight before Ryhope and I warmed to its "lived-in" appearance then. The fact that it got to Ryhope too, some 60 miles further South, suggests that it works much better than it looked. Or does it? The large, riveted section of the o/s/f wing added to its charm for me, as did every one of its myriad patches and plates. Fair play to the boy for running that as a daily, it's enormous and can't be all that good on the fuel.
