We've made it to December. As the UK spirals into winter our output on the blog slows down a bit, we'll still be bringing you cool stuff to check out every week, probably not at such a pace as we manage over summer. Of course life goes on in the Retro Scene, cars are being built, the Southern Hemisphere heads into summer, and there are still cars out there to be discovered by us. In the mean time, some links to keep you busy.
Let us start with a mystery, one that you can follow as it evolves over on the Japanese Nostalgic Car forums. It appears that someone may have discovered a Toyota AA (or AC depending on how you look at it) in Russia, the full story as it happens can be found here. You can read about the Toyota AA on wikipedia to get a bit of background, suffice to say it would certainly count in our rare cars features.
One of the things I do occasionally is head back through old linklogs to revisit some older links, sometimes they haven't changed at all, others have radically altered, one of the later is Youngtimer Scene from Germany. The site now boasts car features, galleries, events listings, a newsletter and news sections, all in all a very good site for the German scene, check out with Google Translates if your German isn't up to scratch, or just click on the pretty pictures.
We hinted earlier that we'd probably be looking South of the equator for some more shows and coverage over the winter months for us Europeans, lets get an early start and head to the land of Rebaixados cars and the Velocidade Maxima blog pictures and coverage of the varied and occasionally extreme Brazilian scene, moderns mix with retro cars, most are very very low.
Finally lets get a couple of non-car items in here for a change, firstly the excellent Selvedge Yard kind of a cool wall of retro greatness, and secondly our own non-car retro-ish goodness at Old School Ish, for all your old school (ish) skate, bike, culture and style needs, so new it still hasn't got a finished design!
Oh and a video.. who doesn't love a video! :
