Hey PettyBird. You could have washed the bloody car.

Got back at 5:30pm tonight. Great day. Club stand looked small but nice. I didn't have time to look around slow enough but there was some lovely stuff on display. I only took a photo now and again but still have 150 of them to sort though.

I did the 450 mile? round trip in the Corvette and love it again. It is such a good car for motorway driving. I used just over a tank of fuel so had to re-fill on the way home.

I even had a nice chat with one of the Corvette club guys. He wants a Charger and loved the look of Del's.

Great pics by the way, thanks for the links

Some really unusual cars there. Love the polished ally AC, the old skool Fords, the can-openered Aston. The wartime stand looked great too!

I tried to catch the owner of the turbine Rover but couldn't get near him for a couple of old buffers that kept him busy. I think I overheard a women (his wife?) say it was a reproduction.

this took my breath away

immaculate 1968 Ford Escort ‘Lotus’ Twin Cam, one of 883, dry stored for 25 years, re-commissioned and restored

HOW MUCH??!!

I would like to point out I am not disrespecting the for sale ad, I was just genuinely astonished by the asking price, and I guess disappointed that it’s well out of my league!!

The reg plate's a bit of a clue eh!
