Retro style is style that is consciously derivative or imitative of trends, music, modes, fashions, or attitudes of the recent past, typically 15–50 years old.
The term rétro has been in use since the 1970s to describe on the one hand new artifacts that self-consciously refer to particular modes, motifs, techniques, and materials of the past. But on the other hand, some people (incorrectly) use the term to categorise styles that have been created in the past. Retro style refers to new things that display characteristics of the past. It is mostly the recent past that retro seeks to recapitulate, focusing on the products, fashions and artistic styles produced since the Industrial Revolution, of Modernity. The word "retro" derives from the Latin prefix retro, meaning backwards, or in past times.
In France, the word rétro, an abbreviation for rétrospectif gained cultural currency with reevaluations of Charles de Gaulle and France’s role in World War II. The French mode rétro of the 1970s reappraised in film and novels the conduct of French civilians during the Nazi occupation. The term rétro was soon applied to nostalgic French fashions that recalled the same period.
Land Rover is a car brand that specialises in four-wheel-drive vehicles, owned by British multinational car manufacturer Jaguar Land Rover, which is in turn owned by India's Tata Motors since 2008.
The Land Rover name was originally used by the Rover Company for the Land Rover Series, launched in 1948. It developed into a brand encompassing a range of four-wheel-drive models, including the Defender, Discovery, Freelander, Range Rover, Range Rover Sport and Range Rover Evoque. Land Rovers are currently assembled in the company's Halewood and Solihull plants, with research and development taking place at the Gaydon and Whitley engineering centres. Land Rover sold 194,000 vehicles worldwide in 2009.
In September 2013 Jaguar Land Rover announced plans to open a 100 million GBP (160 million USD) research and development centre in the University of Warwick, Coventry to create a next generation of vehicle technologies. The carmaker said around 1,000 academics and engineers would work there and that construction would start in 2014.

In my earlier video on the overall Apple II line, I showed off my broken IIc that was the first computer I ever owned. Now it's time to sit down and repair it, tearing down the computer and rebuilding it to hopefully be as it was the day I first took it home in 1985. Will I be successful? You'll find out at the end! This is another quick video while I work on some more complicated, scripted stuff. But in many ways these are some of the most fun videos to do. This computer has obviously *not* been retrobrited - no need to tell me how yellow it is! I may retrobrite eventually but the problem is that it's a temporary solution - the yellowing always comes back after a few years. I'm still deciding if it's even worth the effort. Get your own Apple IIc on Ebay (hopefully a working one!): http...

Retrobriting or repainting your Famicom is a great way to bring it back to its former glory, but it doesn't help if your decals are worn out..Here's how you can change that, and get your FC looking even better! If you're looking to refurbish your old yellowing 8 bit Nintendo Famicom, you might be interested in one of our exclusive, limited run refurbishment kits.. A set costs $20, shipped free.

One of the most incredible junkyards in the history of junk is Turner's Auto Wrecking in Fresno, California—and on this episode of Roadkill, Freiburger and Finnegan hit those 100 acres of vintage sheetmetal and go spelunking for gold! After considerable debate, the guys select a 1950 GMC shortbed truck that had been off the road for 26 years and jam to get it running and driving for the trip home to Los Angeles. At least there was a 50-percent victory. Watch as the guys revamp the Jimmy inline six, panic over a wrecked master cylinder, sweat their cajones off for four days, and explore one of the greatest old-car stashes ever!

This long video shows the refurbishment & set up of Neil's much-loved 1980 Kay K-30. Before anyone feels like pointing out that 'these guitars aren't worth spending money on' please be advised that the only reason I did this job is precisely because the customer DID want to spent this amount of time and money on this guitar. Why? Because it was his first guitar and because it has special sentimental value for him. He has a large collection of guitars and is well aware of what the same amount of money could buy him in terms of new and 2nd hand budget guitars - but that's not the point. Please keep this in mind while watching a video like this. This process of refurbishment changes pretty much everything about the guitar - apart from the original body and neck construction and, in this c...

In this video, I show how to repair and refurbish an original Apple IIc (memory expansion model) computer from 1986. My computer in the video has a faulty mainboard so I purchased a parts computer to repair it. This is a mainboard swap, keyboard fix and overall refurbishment. This video focuses on the computer itself. The monitor, external floppy disk drive, and PSU brick have their own videos in parts 2, 3, and 4. At the end of part 1, I will demo the peripherals shown in the other 3 parts
I bought an untested Famicom off eBay for under $30. In this video I show you how to connect it, test it, open and clean it. I also attempt to de-yellow the faded top to restore the original colour
