While I inderstand what you are saying I fail to understand why so many things to do with 70's and 80's cars are called retro something or other, you aren't telling me they are all wrong??

Classic car Magazine is called 'Classic' car not 'Retro' car, as its for cars which aren't from this time!

There is only one car that could be classed as retro in this photo gallery http://www.retroshow.co.uk/gallery2008.php The Chrysler PT Cruiser ..... the rest are old skool (you can have a 'old skool disco' but not a 'retro disco' !!!!! unless it's new music with a 'disco' flavour) |

Yes the cars in the retro mag are 'old', thats just the car shells &/ or chassis. Most of what's inside is new. Engine's, gearboxes, drive shaft's.Some have even fitted electric window's, satnav,CD player's & i think thats what makes them 'Retro'.. I also hear that todays fashion 'is o so retro',but really it's the same thing's that we wore back in the '70's, but new.. |
