British and European Car Show...

We had a short visit with our new HitchHiker friends this morning before heading out for family stuff...


Joan gave me "time off" (not necessarily for good behavior) and I got to go to a British and European car show with her brothers while she spent time with her Mother. The "short drive" to the car show turned out to be about an hour, but the conversation was lively. Having had some British and German sports cars, I was really looking forward to the show.

There was a nice turn out: Ferraris, Triumphs, Porsches, MGs, Austin Healeys, Fiats, Alphas, and even an assortment of Morgans. It was a lot of fun looking it all over.


Yes, those are flames on that MGB above. If that's not sacrilegious enough, it had a Corvette engine in it. I can't imagine what the handling would be like with that much horsepower in that light weight, but it was interesting... and well done.

At the end of the day, we said our good-byes - we're heading out in the morning.
