Retro Classics Barbados… Retro Car Show

IMG_9262

Today I’m bringing you guys something which I haven’t done in quite some time, event coverage. Starting back with the site post covid, I thought it would be nice to go back to my roots & start attending some car shows, maybe some car limes & some race events as well. I believe it would be a nice break in between the project builds to get a glimpse of what the car community is up to. You guys can let me know if this is something you would be interested in or just cover the project side of things & the major events. 

 

First up on the list of event coverage is the Retro Classics Barbados ” Retro Car Show”; this was held in the parking lot of the Williams Tower building in Warrens. The turnout was absolutely amazing from my perspective, I really wasn’t expecting to see that many people out. In recent times I’ve really been stagnant when it comes to attending car show & meets. The positive response in attendance from not only patrons but those who brought out their vehicles completely blew me away. The cars on hand were quite pleasing to see, ranging from pristine restoration builds to modified classics & there were also a few full out race car builds.

The atmosphere felt great, it didn’t take very long for me to settle in & get back into the rhythm of things. It was nice being outside again with some familiar faces & having the opportunity to soak in some of the newer builds that I hadn’t gotten a chance to see up close. I have to give a huge shoutout to the Retro Classics Barbados team for throwing a great show. Although I didn’t arrive until the middle of the afternoon, from my perspective it was well laid out & gave me all the right feels of what a show like that should be. It’s always a great thing when an event feels as tho it finished too early, so kudos to the team & I’m already excited for the next show. 

 

Enough rambling for now, let’s move ahead with the footage…

We’re back with another installment of Kerry-Dan’s EK3 build; much has happened since our last update. Kerry received the car back from paint and made a few changes. Mainly a few things to make the car a bit more aesthetically pleasing. In today’s post, we’ll be getting into the parts that he has been collecting for some time that will kick start the next stage of the build. As I would have mentioned in the previous post, Kerry’s goal is to have a well rounded, daily capable K swapped car with all the functioning creature comforts in place.
