British Car Day
Around 1,000 cars. Quite a few people, most of them British. Awful food at high prices:
British Car Day
Anyone else up for it?

Hubby would enjoy that but don’t know if we can make it. Our neighbour has a 1954 (?) TR2. He was at a British Car show yesterday, Caledon. Maybe he will be at the Sept show.

Re: British Car Day
I didn't know there was a Caledon show, that's just down the road. I was in Niagara, touring wineries as the impoverished guest of the Aston Martin club.

Re: British Car Day
Ahhh, I'd love to be there, if only to sit behind the wheel of a Triumph TR4 again! That was the first new car I'd bought, when I was a newly married 27-year old emigrating from Toronto to Nassau, Bahamas. (And the only new car I've ever bought, now that I think of it, these fifty years on!) When we lived in Perth, Australia, for 12 months, four years later, I (we) bought a second-hand one of the same model. I remember the feeling of being King of the Road, driving around with the rag-top down. In Bath, England, five years after that, we had an old Triumph Herald. All very reliable cars, I'm glad to say.

A group of us went a bit over a week ago and this one was the best. I"m glad we had a non-drinker as the driver.

Re: British Car Day
I might try to get there this year, not been for the last few. It's an unusual Sunday these days that doesn't have some sort of sporting or social event for assorted offspring to get to, which more often than not precludes my swanning off for a day in a field with a picnic (since I got fed up with the price/quality conundrum of the food that dbd mentioned). I'll try and update plans on this thread nearer the time, it usually boils down to a "game day decision."

Re: British Car Day
Of course. My picnic arrives in the (now sadly rather battered and bruised) Fortnum and Mason hamper that once contained one of those corporate Christmas ham-and-preserves gifts. It's wildly impractical as it doesn't keep cold things cold or hot things hot, and it impedes rear vision when it's strapped to the luggage rack, but it looks the part and that's really the only thing that matters, after all
