Speaking of which - thanks for spending the time to show me the twin cam! To say the twin cam was getting love is an understatement. It was a magnet! Was good to reconnect with Don S as well and show him my car with the engine that he built
Lots of amazing cars this year in all the classes. Something for everyone.

Around 90 classic minis, maybe 20 Binis or so, we parked them over by the latrines LOL I did a fair bit of "women watching" , a large turnout of people but l did a survey and believe it or not the "trophy queens" were on the arms of the Aston Martin types followed by the the Jaguar crew, and the Rolls Royce women were using walkers The classic mini guys wife's were all home cleaning and preparing dinner Big AL

Don, thank you for that, yes, l pretended to be at Pebble Beach were the top winners roll up to the judges stand

Won 3rd in the mini , slider window class with a Moke with no doors,go figure

And don't be so modest your "Bluebox" looked great, so many nice cars, not sure of exact # of Brit cars judged but close to 1200 for sure, great weather,great people & a ton of vendors

Kind of nice not to have vended this year, got to see all the cars, hey, how did that Amphibious car get in there?

Blue Box went to Bronte today,boy did that feel good. The largest British car show in North America.Don D***son brought his new 1380 super charged tinnie wagon. Big Al won a prize and instead of walking up to get his prize , he drove his Moke to the judges stand.Then put on his horned helmet,the man has no shame. Another sunny Bronte day. Life is good. Cheers
