Cars Cars and more Cars
The next village to us had a car show last weekend,i went along and took a few pictures and was suprised at how many vehicles were there.I took dozens of pictures so here are a few of them.
First one inside the gate was this,looks like a cut and shut but the length was reduced at a garage and it is road legal.
Apart from the tyres this one was all red and crome
Red seats and carpets.
Even a red steering wheel.
Some terrific paint work on some of them.
I like the reflections of the clouds on the bonnet of this one.
These 2 looked good together.
The paint work on this Morris Minor is brilliant.
If you look on the side of the bonnet you will see reflections of people who were standing next to me.
A great British product of times past.
This must be the most well known mascot in the world.
Lots of admirers for this one.
A Rolls Royce that must cost a fortune to keep in this condition.
The standard of all the vehicles on show was first class.
This mascot could only go on one car:-
A Jaguar with head lights the size of buckets.Todays lights are smaller but a lot more powerful than these.
The only tractor at the show,it looked a bit lonely.
A few military vehicles including this half track, the owners dressed in old style combat kit.
Also there a selection of motor bikes and trikes
This A J S was gleaming and the sun was glinting off the exhaust silencer.
This one looked filthy. A closer inspection revealed that it was meant to be like that,the whole car had been smeared with old oil to give it an aged look.if you look at the front left you will notice a Gopher trying to get from under the bumper.
More lights than our village street.
I could't get the site to upload any more pictures so i am going to finish here.I have got over 50 more pictures so i might do another blog on this at a later date.I had a good day at the show and i hope you enjoy my pictures,thanks for looking.
Ron

Really nice! I like most of the shots. Just some advice - a bit more contrast would be nice(it was a bit of ugly light when you were shooting I suppose) And look out for awkward crops in the frame. The last car has it's fender and signal light cut off for example. Nevertheless a really nice blog.

Some REALLY LOVELY CARS there Ron. Hoping to get to a Classic Car rally this weekend locally, so looking forward to seeing whats on offer there.
The "dirty one" (with the oil on it) does look different and it stands out well.

Excellent set of shots, Ron - love the shortened VW Camper van, although I'm sure the purists will be pulling their hair out over it! Thanks for sharing

Good job, Ron. Excellent images but I am concerned by the shortened VW. It won't have many fans in the T2 set.

Interesting photoblog Ron ~ love the first vehicle. Some of them take me back in time. Such character in the old classics and such a labour of love to maintain them. Not the same today. Thanks for sharing. My new photoblog Alison visits Viv in York Photoblog http://www.myfinepix.co.uk/blog/77182/493459

Hi Ron,
you got some great shots there
Seems you have been lucky with the light as well.
I just love photos from technical stuff and if there is a bit of chrome included you will always win me
Even if there were older and more interesting exhibits - my favourite photo is the first. The VW bully looks more like photoshopped than the result of hundreds of hours spend in a garage. Nice, very funny shot

Cracking pictures and a great blog.
The Impala and the Ford Zodiac do it for me.

good blog, nice images and the snippets of info underneath are to the point.
the oil smeared car reminds me of a car styling scene known as rat look. panels of cars or even the whole car have the paint removed and are allowed to rust with narrow tyres stretched on wide rims. i believe it started in the US hot rod scene where they are known as rat rods and has spread to europe where it is done usually with older VW's and the like. googling rat look car images will bring up what i mean

Old cars have bags more style as far as I'm concerned.Smashing blog.Looked like a busy car rally.Looks like you had noce weather as well.

Love the cars. In the USA we have a lot of car shows primarily starring cars from the Muscle Car Revolution in the 60s and 70s so the shots are just amazing. I haven't had my HS20 for any but this year I will have to take some pics and post them. I love cars and know some about them so I can appreciate them when I see a nice one.
I like the Chevy Impala. Do you have any fron end shots of it?
I don't have any good pictures so there is not a link to my gallery, just a quote.

A great car blog. Loved the vintage cars and the Yank Tanks. The Ford Zodiac took me back to when I was 15. I think the Zodiac was the sister to the Zephyr. I thinks the Zodiak had the V6 'Cologne' engine (as fitted to the Ford Taunus) and the Zephyr the straight 4 cylinder engine (I did all that without putting on my anorak).

Some fab shots here, I'm not really a car enthusiast but I still enjoyed looking at the photos, the reflections on the Impala's bonnett was cracking.

A nice blog of the old, customised, and unusual vehicles ron, Like the 1st pick of the shrunken VW. How strange it looks! Paul.
