Both Nick and Dad like the Lotus Elise.

I loved the "K3 magnette" looking exhaust on this car... the 20's version of a "rice rocket boy racer look"... as this was all show, no go.

|
The cutaway Austin engine.
|
Complete with gearbox and clutch. Even though is is a outdated side-valve, flat-head engine, it is very nice to see how it all works in slo-mo.
|
Nicholas listens to the presentation.
|
Big Healeys
|
My Dad had one just like this when he met my mom... hence Nicholas traces his very existence to an MG A!

This was my favorite car of the event, a pre-war Aston-Martin.
|
It is a 1934 Mark II.
|
It just had an "all-business" look to it.
|
|
It looks as if the whole boat tail comes off to reveal a boot and spare wheel.
|
I love it.
|
I like the plate. Not a big fan of Metros, but I can appreciate the attraction they have on some people.
