HubNut's Retro Rides Weekender 2019 report

[@deviantrider9309]

5.00 don't see many of those about as the camera focused on the booty lol, certainly on par that one ian, the cars weren't too shabby ether

[@martinnorth2680]

Walks past a Mclaren to look at a Dolomite. That's why I love this channel.

[@mr-wx3lv]

Did you know Cilla black once owned a Nissan, cos it was a laurel, laurel fun!! 😉

[@lloydvehicleconsulting]

I have to say that this report wasn't shambolic at all. It was extremely coherent and interesting...

[@klwthe3rd]

Best car at the show hands down was the Alfa Romeo 164 Quadrifoglio in Red over Grey. Those were sold in the United States briefly before Alfa pulled out of the US market back in 1996. I also fancy the Lancia Beta coupe in white and the Volkswagen Passat Mark I wagon. Awesome footage of a wildly publicized event. So many beautiful cars.

[@grenvillephillips6998]

I was highly amused by the two guys seemingly grinning at the Ken Mary Skyline on 5 minutes - there seemed to be too little of the engine visible for such obvious delight. I assumed it was something more prominent!

[@Rob-H]

Hope I'm not the only one watching this and thinking, want one of those, and one of those, that too, definitely one of those!

[@ivorwm2291]

Great video. The last red Ford was a Ranchero pick up

[@lofty7180]

excellent stuff,,,although i may have to watch this video one or several more times ,just to make sure i didnt miss anything. No,not just so i can gaze upon the peachy behind at 5:00mins in.........HONESTLY !

[@CutLeRoc]

Love your laid back knowledgeable presenting style, a joy to watch

[@B41DY]

Love the look of the "Tangerine of Terror"

[@mr-wx3lv]

Am I right in saying VW briefly sold the Rabbit in Wales, calling it the Rarebit?! 😉 Or it was the choice car bought by Chas and Dave?! ...

[@jamiemorris5177]

I’ve got to mow the lawn 😭 I’m going to quickly get that done Then going sit down with a cup of tea And watch this as my treat after

[@casualagent7250]

I also loved the Alfa 164,

[@kroneditor9266]

Well done for getting so much fantastic footage of what looks like a fabulous event Ian

[@mattw8332]

I love the '70s Datsuns from 4:41. Absolutely brilliant. Liked that sheddy Escort estate too and the Renault 21 with rather large wheels & wheel trims. Great stuff.

[@grayfool]

What a mix, wow! And a Cappuccino! Definitely a show to visit. Thanks for the tour.

[@kevinsmith6269]

Great show report thanks Ian :) Don't worry about the video being a little disjointed. So many interesting, rare cars and listening to your knowledge about them is what made this video so enjoyable:) A little tip to help you stay out of trouble with Ford Fans, if a mk4 Escort is an RS Turbo as in this video it will have painted body colour B pillars, if it's an XR3i it will have black trim on the B pillars. The RS Turbo has bonnet vents too but many owners of XR3is have fitted these over the years.

[@Luckyjo21]

great video, renault 21 turbo was my favourite car there

[@casualagent7250]

TriHard Drove one of those, (in red) back in the day (80’s) had a lot of torque steer when you put your foot down & quick, great entertainment

[@iwannabentley]

Thank you.. I've owned it about 4 months now.

[@Luckyjo21]

@@iwannabentley wow im jealous, i want one in red

[@iwannabentley]

@@Luckyjo21 yes I was kinda lucky and stumbled on it, I recently repainted it, still got the roof and Bootlid to do, wheels are off being dipped and powder coated atm, hence why I was running hubbers. Its up for sale soon.

[@Ash-928]

@@casualagent7250 very rare cars now, there's an even rarer 4 wheel drive "Quadra" version.

Thanks for posting this . I missed this event and I only live 10 miles away from there. Love that lowered Imp . cool

[@ShedTV]

I do enjoy your show tours and knowledgeable commentary. This one no exception.

[@micheltebraake7915]

Nice tour Ian, thanks. The series on the Escort of RetroPower is beautiful.

[@huntsbychainsaw5986]

I love to see these cars shows from the UK! Amazing cars massive variety and beautiful scenery. 19:53 Two Land rover defenders sitting in the background just casually lol. In Canada "Oh WOW! look a defender!" In the UK they casually pop up as service vehicles.

[@itzajdmting]

I'm only 8 minutes in and I'm having multiple eargasms!!! That white Saphire.... my gosh. That sound is incredible.

[@anyscaleclassics6880]

Astounding variety and quality at this show. I could cross all other car shows off my list and just do this. Amazing.

[@graemew7001]

WOW!! A Fiat Ritmo / Strada, I haven't seen one of those in a lot of years. Never a dull moment at that show, always something to surprise you. I too was naming cars as they appeared lol......didn't get the Cedric either though!!

[@ClaudeSac]

My first car was a Ritmo 70, it was falling apart rapidly but great memories. And my third car was an Alfa 164, in quite mint condition. I'm a motorcycle guy really, but I have had such nice cars too... I do enjoy channels like Hubnut!

[@kimkiriniki9433]

Terrific coverage HubNut, many thanks.

[@TheAllyMor]

Great vid Ian, thanks. I will never tire of seeing you blank the show off supercars in favour of the humble classics! In this case an orange Dolomite. Beautiful..... I remember someone telling me they got 150 out of a 21 turbo. Mental! I liked the stock fiestas. There were more than just the L you spotted.... Too many nice cars for you to mention them all I suppose. Good work my 'you tube friend'!

[@TheAllyMor]

Oh and how many comments are there relating to 5:00 minutes in!!! Your subscribers are mostly 'red blooded' blokes! Bloody brilliant 😉

[@What..a..shambles]

Ritmo in Ireland too,possibly column change in the dash iirc from childhood

[@HubNut]

Always floor change on these as far as I know.

[@stevenjones19-m8i]

Hi Ian,what a awesome video,there is some nice motors here,cars that you don't see anymore,I enjoyed it.

[@lookandlisten5740]

Love that little Honda 600.... brilliant video, as always.

One of the best shows i have been to 👍 campsite was great too

[@davidbrown6227]

Another great video Ian. Some absolutely lovely cars👍🚗

[@robinwells8879]

I'm definitely with you on the matter of rear wiper deletes. I still remember the sheer joy of getting my first car fitted with a rear wash wipe and thinking I had really arrived! I suspect that it's a case of the fox who lost his tail!

[@gti505]

at 23:23 it is Onslow in his Ford Cortina, with a PTSChieuw from the exhaust at the back (black smoke) it was hilarious always!

[@johnnorth9355]

Lancia Beta Coupe - It's friends rusted away :-) . Brilliant selections of cars only slightly diminished by the lack of gimbal and unwanted music by Mr Smith !

[@BlueXonar]

11:47 That 2002 is on hydraulic suspension! Not the kind which makes cars dance, but the pre-decessor to air-ride. :)

[@sefikempowermentcoachvilla7843]

Great selection of motors and sounds, true Hub Nut !! Great video Ian 😉

[@reddermot]

It has only taken me 2 years to find this footage! #myrx7 at around 0.24 . I was checking for a fuel leak that turned out to be from a car in front. I have added some Hubnut this year by running twin SU's, not something you would usually associate with a rotary engine or mazda or Japan for that matter. Will you be attending this year Ian?

[@HubNut]

Yes, I'll be there on the Saturday.

[@reddermot]

@@HubNut All the good times.

[@CarlJones14]

Great vlog!👍 I once had a lift in one of those Datsun's. Probably in the late 70s & probably the cleanest car interior I've ever been in.

Never noticed how similar looking the Lancia Beta Coupe was to the Audi 100 Coupe before.

loved watching better then tv and that black astra mk2 was nice. some really really nice car's golf mk2's are sweet

[@richardcallison1637]

Nice video! Kind of a Hub Nut eye view of the world😂 I’d have loved to see more of the land rovers but that’s just because I love them! I also liked the Honda Beat! Must have been a great weekend. Thanks, as always, for sharing👍👍👍

[@urbanrider7981]

Fantastic bodywork at 5.05

[@BlueXonar]

1:24 - The E30 M3 belongs to my mate Wayne, it has a re-built LS1 V8 paired with a sequential racing gearbox and an up-rated diff, but some rather interesting parts besides including custom made and designed centre-lock wheels! The interior is rather special too, with all panels (including the full dashboard) recreated in carbon fibre. It really is something else. Lovely car. Did you mean to say "it certainly didn't sound very good"? Haha

[@HubNut]

Oops. Misspoke again!

[@rachelbrown1978]

Oooh a Bluebird Ian. Mine was different though, mine was a V reg. Loads of lovely cars on here. Xx

[@stewartlundy5858]

I loved that Anglia looked nice on the five and a half j rims, some nice imps.

[@att61y]

I think most of the Lancias friends rusted away in the 80s and 90s...

[@stewarttideswell9231]

Thanks mate, can't wait for you to take the fox to an event. All the best

[@alikwindrush8892]

The Austin A40 is an Austin A55 but I bow to you knowledge. Awesome

[@HubNut]

Yes, brain a bit slow on that one. As a former A90 Westminster owner myself, I should have done better!

[@davidthehillbilly7995]

The Hudson was actually a 1949 Ford. We got Fiestas but they all had the 1.6 Kent engine and were considered bog slow. Too bad this was before we had learned to appreciate anything that gave more than 10 MPG. We also got the Renault you were salivating over as the Eagle Premier. Nobody wanted one since neither company involved (Renault and AMC) would put their name on it, which indicated they were only temporary and to be shunned. We were right, although I must say that the best seats I've ever had was the pair of Renault Alliance buckets that replaced the ones that fell apart in my 1976 Datsun B210....

[@cappaculla]

Great video Ian.. Thanks 👍

[@derrickfelix6206]

just brilliant you really need to introduce Crafts. Cheers

[@twocvbloke]

Have to admit, that random McLaren 720S (I think?) after the Landy at 16:05, those are rather tasty looking supercars, I know I primarily like classics, but, even the best of us has a lust for such a thing... :D

[@vikingraiders4138]

The Ford Cortina MK2 what a beautiful colour

[@1066gaz]

Another awesome video ian,just gets better & better. Especially liked the ford anglia,ford escort rs turbo and the opel astra's.(:-) I bet i will never see a mk2 astra sri 1.8 3 door in bordeux red again like i once owned. The same colour as the mk2 astra 2.0 gte 16v 200,000 miles on original gearbox & clutch and still perfect as well. G304 EAJ I sold it to a prison officer that lived in west yorkshire in bradford i think and he wanted to use it for track days this was back in 2004 when i sold it him. Extremely rare now probably none existant in this exact same spec. I have seen just a handful in blue and bright red but not 3 door bordeux red. Always wondered if it still exists.

[@richdelgado3405]

I guess here in the US we have Redwood, a kind of traveling show where people can show off their 80s/90s cars. I'm assuming the name is based on the original Goodwood event?

[@blxtothis]

Sorry Hn, at 17:00ish, that was an A55 Cambridge

That's because I used to own one. ;)

[@gravydavy4188]

I said it. 😊

[@wangdangdoodie]

The reason FIAT didn't use the name Ritmo for the UK, was because market research carried out before the cars launch indicated that most people questioned thought the name sounded like a lawnmower.

[@terryatkinson899]

My first car was a ritmo and it handled like a pig. Great engine but very temperamental in the mornings if it was damp out. My second ever car was an uno in beige 903cc which I crashed after passing my test. Then got an uno fire 999cc and put 100k on it, brilliant little car.

I was daft and stupid to get rid of my 3.0 Alfa 164. Best car I have ever owned.

[@Robutube1]

Did I miss something? Ian refers to a Mazda 323 and never wishing to sit in one again. Does this mean that the turkey he bought some weeks ago has been traded on after its track day? I thought I'd seen pretty much all of his videos except for the visits to museums/trains/trams type ones.

[@HubNut]

I thought I'd mentioned the Mazda's disappearance in a video, but I'm losing track myself... It has indeed been sold.

[@carlbarton772]

Lots of cars with race number on.... Can you please find out if they are legal to tun on the road? As in on the way to events?

[@HubNut]

Technically, I believe it's illegal to drive a car on the road with race numbers on it.

[@carlbarton772]

@@HubNut thought so, but the last MSA blue book i have is from 2013

[@wangdangdoodie]

@@HubNut I thought you could run on the road but with a diagonal black line striking through the number.

[@wangdangdoodie]

@@HubNut Further to my previous comment, a quick enquiry to an acquaintance in BTP reveals the practice is not illegal, so wont land you in trouble with the Plod. However, it will get you noticed, particularly if your car or driving style attract attention anyway. So, unless you actually fancy standing at the roadside for a couple of hours while the Police pore over your vehicle, it's probably best avoided. The situation with the MSA is different. The practice of displaying your number while not competing is frowned upon, and competitors have actually been barred by marshals from entering events when arriving with their numbers displayed. MSA advice is that when not competing numbers should preferably be removed altogether, and if this is not possible then the number should be crossed out with tape a minimum of Two inches (50mm) wide. It is considered extremely poor etiquette not to comply.

[@Dan23_7]

I was watching DriftWorx channel yesterday and they were there. They're their cars in the thumbnail 👍🏻

Definitely a massive variety of cars there, would be nice to see more in stock condition, but beggars can't be choosers I suppose... :)

[@smoothmicra]

I enjoyed the standard cars though!

[@MrKeyboardCommando]

If my memory serves me well, when the Nissan Cedric was introduced to the Australian market, Australia advised Japan that Cedric was Australian slang for a male homosexual and Japan may want to change the name of the car. Japan enquired if there were any Cedric/male homosexuals in Australia, and Australia said, " Yes, loads of them". Japan replied, " So, what's the problem? ".

[@AliMackMechanical]

Looked a great day with lots of nice car's looking forwards to more vids.

[@torresalex]

Dear Ian, what is your stance on modding? Do you like those drivers who go all fast and furious on their cars or do you prefer them in factory spec?

[@HubNut]

My personal preference is for stock, but I do like to see well-modified cars. What I don't like to see is butchered bodywork, chopped springs and stretched tyres.
