First time I went to this. I strolled along in my Thunderbird. As said, some really good cars but also a few there which weren't so nice. I was very struck by this '49 Cadillac. My Dad used to have a '48 with a flat head. For some reason though I could look at this '49 for ages.   |

I was going to go to this show in my 1602 but I won some tickets to the Bromley Pageant instead, Sounds like I make the right choice as Bromley was fantastic!
I saw that geen Dolly Sprint driving through Ipswich a few weeks ago, I nearly crashed my car oooffff'ing at it!.

1989 Peugeot 205. You know, the one that was parked in a ditch on the campsite at RRG'17... the glass is always full. but the ratio of air to water may vary. |

Thanks for the compliment mate, Nicola said you were another nice guy that she has met within the greater Retro Scene.
Nice to have met you guys too.
Always good to put names to faces.
We loved the show, and I am sure Bromley was great, but ofr us this was just right, like Goldilocks' bears porrige, we got what we wanted.
Oh, and Nicola has mentioned that the next car we get has been identified.... no idea where she is getting the money from, but apparantly it must have a Bench seat in the front.

Cool little rod Running what looked like a Viva front end and a B series If that were a B series they've put the ilet/exhaust manifolds on the wrong side  Looks Triumph to me, suspension and all  Stu, the Cresta is looking awesome! NASCAR decals to come?! Also nice to see the Grizza wagon at a show at last |

You know what Seth, you're right.
It's all farse about ace to be BMC.
Stuyizz suggested Viva for the front end, but I think you could be spot on with Triumph
