So it has been a while since we had a link log entry, the internet is still full of great car related sites, so lets have a look at which has been rocking our socks for the past few weeks.
First up this is a really retro set of photographs the
Shorpy website is a fantastic collection of old photographs, it has much to look at, for us though the best stuff is in the classic car section :

Next we're off to Sweden for some racing cars, the Modsport Drivers Associations has a
really nice website with reports, pictures, results and film clips. It is easy enough to follow what is where even if you don't speak Swedish, you can see some outstanding racing cars :

Where to next in our international whistle stop tour of the internet,.. Why Japan of course. It is no secret that we love the Japanese scene here at RSM, so we thought you might also enjoy
this build up of a Nissan 510 Drag racing car, from purchase to first race and beyond. Fantastic! :

So on to our video. One of our stated aims when we started Retro Scene Mag was to reflect the world wide Retro scene, this video perfectly reflects the reality of competing in Hillclimbs, really well filmed and evocative of how it is lived.
