Hi All,

I'm sure most of you will have noticed that we have an upcoming Retro Rolling Road event hosted by Joe Power and the TDR team on Oct 4th.

As part of this we are delighted to announce that Andrew, editor, and his colleagues from Retro Classics Magazine also present on the day. We felt that it was a very fitting match to have Retro Classics run an article given the vibe and spirit of the day itself.

Having described to Andrew what Autostadt is all about he is very enthusiastic about you all and is running the RR day as the first of a series of articles to include Autostadt.

Anyway enough said, here is a piece Andrew sent to share with you all....

"My thanks to Mike for getting in touch with us here at Retro Classics Magazine to let us know about the upcoming rolling road meet. This is something we'd love to run a feature on, as it should provide some interesting information on the genuine performance benefits that can result from a range of modifications on classic eighties VWs and related models. And it should be a bit of fun too! I'm looking forward to meeting everyone at TDR on Saturday the 4th of October." [Andrew Pollock, Editor]

Wonder are many people going to just hang out and chat? I know spectating is limited due to safety etc. but if a few people are around it would be a bit if banterism!
