We headed over to Chris and Gill’s today, and then to this year’s Silverstone Classic.
Obviously, it’s all about the cars and so I’ll minimise the word-count in this Post and let the pictures tell the story!
The weather was spot-on today. After the mega-heatwave of the past few days, it was just perfect! – gently warm with an occasional breeze. Being the event’s first day too (and a weekday), meant it wasn’t too busy either.
The Cars are the Stars
Plenty of “old ‘uns” in fabulous condition…
…and some cutting edge modern motors too…
…and some ‘classics’…
…and some really old vehicles…
…as well as some plain weird stuff…
…and the best of the modern Aston Martins…
…plus some icons from ‘back in the day’.
It wasn’t completely about about the Cars! (not quite!). We stopped for a breather where there was superb Band playing music from the 50s. It was a family affair – ‘The Colemans’ (Mum, Dad and their two sons). The lead singer (Dad) had a really strong voice… until we heard his wife’s – we reckon she could have brought down walls with hers! Fantastic!!!! More information about them HERE.
All-in-all then, a really good day. It helps if you like cars, but if you don’t, it was still a great day out. Eventually, we called it a day, and caught the free Bus back to where we’d parked the car. We dropped into Kia on the way back to get the digital maps updated and some loose trim fixed before putting our feet up before tonight’s Archery lessons!
I got into blogging quite late in life, not publishing my first post until 2004 – well into my 40s! My lifelong love of technology and communication (in all its forms), together with a fondness for the art of writing seemed to be the perfect combination to contribute a few words to the online community. But I’m no Samuel Pepys! If you’re looking for deep and meaningful comments on a variety of subjects, then you’ve arrived at the wrong site! I only pen for pleasure! On average, my posts appear about twice per month, covering family & friends, cinema visits, eating out, holiday experiences and techy stuff. Oh, and as this is my hobby, there are no sponsored links nor adverts here – it’s all done with love!
I hope you find it enjoyable, interesting and occasionally, even helpful!
