I have just got back from a car event.
There were lots of classic cars of all kinds, especially a lot of American cars.
Here are some of the highlights...I hope you enjoy the pictures.

Sounds a great day out @66Mustang pics are great I like the last 1 the blue one

Thanks @Teddybear12
I definitely enjoyed the day.
I think my favourite was the red Mustang (the first picture) but there was so much variety, I think the cars were all nice. There isn't a car in existence that I don't like, I just like that people have enthusiasm for whatever car they own.
Something I do find interesting is that in the 60s 70s and 80s we were driving round in Ford Cortinas and Vauxhall Chevettes and other similar cars and the Americans were driving round in huge tanks - Buicks, Caddys and Mustangs, they had some cars there that made the Mustang look small!!
I guess it's because the Americans had a post-war economic boom while we were paying for the war!!! -
Thank you @Sandy_123 that's a Jaguar E-Type. They are quite famous cars and were very popular in their day and still today. I have driven one and they are quite nippy as well!!!

Great cars, big fan of old fashioned models compared to modern and they used to be made to last I must say! Glad you had a great day out too.
-
Thanks @bg844, I agree they were made to last in the old days. I do wonder if in the year 2080 or so, will we have car shows with cars from 2022? I don't know either way to be honest!!

I have been to three car shows this year as my mg was in the shows love the cars @66Mustang

Great pics @66Mustang I think I may have been to the same one before in the past with my dad. It looks familiar!

The Mustangs are just a great looking car. Even today's Mustangs are bang on. Would like one but quite expensive. Nice pics @66Mustang 👌

@Tori_Scope thanks and that’s cool if you have been! I don’t know if it’s on every year or not, it’s the first time we had heard of the show!
@life thanks, I agree about the Mustang, I would love one one day, a 60s one or a new one, I don’t mind. If I ever left home and was able to go out and about alone I’d likely only go a few miles, not on the motorway, so I could afford the higher fuel consumption as I’d do few miles, not sure about the price of the actual car though!!! -
I’ve never driven an E type but I’ve been a passenger in one, the G force was terrific on acceleration! Beautiful car.
I did used to run a Triumph spitfire, that was pretty good but unstable on bends, you had to watch the back as it would slide, which is why owners used to keep a bag of cement in the boot!“This is my simple religion. No need for temples. No need for complicated philosophy. Your own mind, your own heart is the temple. Your philosophy is simple kindness.”

@leeCal haha that's quite funny!! There were a couple of Spitfires at the event. Lovely looking cars though
-
@66Mustang thought this was interesting. I just have a provisional license at the moment but definitely going to do this when I get full one https://www.argos.co.uk/product/9177783?clickPR=plp:68:119
