Looks like a good day out Andy! Some lovely pics and cars there, to help get it out of your mind - I bet your backside wouldn't fit in the bucket seats of the Porsche - I tried once many many years back and couldn't believe how narrow they were. I'm liking that old volvo a lot too

Cool and dressed up to boot, were you in dress too Andy? not in a dress.

It not many years ago Neil if you'd said "i'm liking the look of that Volvo" we'd have all be rolling around on the floor, but now all of a sudden it's a classic car, not sure about vintage.

At what point does something go from classic to vintage?

Umm, see thread on Conan's Birthday.

Looks like a great event and some great cars too. I had a MG Midget and a "B" at some time in the past but they didnt really compare to the Sunbeam Alpine Mk4 i had. A lovely sound - a pity about the rust.

Cheers guys for the comments.
I was in modern day shorts and tee shirt with a pair of retro Adidas trainers (well in to the spirit of the occasion....)
Neil, thanks for the compliment on fitting into the Porsche (not...)

The Cobra sounded amazing when it entered the area for showing of the cars - made the floor move I can tell you..

Was a nice day out all told
