For those of you with both the guts, the gusto and the mechanical know-how to participate in the adventure of a historic or retrospective rally such as the Peking to Paris or the Trans-America, you’ll likely need a RetroTrip Historic Rally Tripmeter unless you’re one of the lucky few who are able to source a vintage tripmeter. At the basic level, this device keeps track of miles travelled, but upgrading models can allow a driving team to keep track of total miles traveled as well as miles traveled for a given leg of the journey. As described on the Retrotrip website: “The Retrotrip has the functions and instant ‘one in a thousand’ calibration accuracy for any wheel changes etc, plus can be seen to be ‘fiddle proof’ because of the old style electro-mechanical clicking digits, hence its’ widespread approval.”

Now that you’ll soon have your Retrotrip, just remember that you only live once. No guts, no glory!
