Hi Jennifer, and all others.

As far as I'm concerned, it was a lovely day out in many respects.

I'm told that the show was smaller than it was pre-covid; never the less, the variety of cars on display was superb, and many were a delight to spend a minute or two "inspecting"

We admired the large, bulbous, and (probably) never to be re-manufactured yankee wagons of the 57 - 65 ish period; in conversation it transpired that the wives of all present, positively dislike large rear fins. I do recall however, that you have previously admired these "mechanical works of art", great.

A number of people said that they used to have a 75 / ZT and how much they appreciated them.

A few people stopped to say how they had enjoyed ownership, in the past.

3 out of 10 for the bar (no seats or tables) but 10 out of 10 for the hot doughnut stall.

We had 3 cars in total, but some interesting visitors, at least one is a new owner and will be getting involved, I believe.

Hope to see you shortly.

Regards

Mike
