Wow the Model A Ford is very special. We also love old cars but the cost of restoration is soooooooo expensive that we gave that up in our latter South African days. Take care Diane
DeleteI love the cars! So many, so pretty. :)
ReplyDeleteDo you eat the oysters raw from the shell? I like them fried.
Hope you enjoyed the movie, Diane.
xoxo
We love them raw and fresh much easier on the preparation :-) The film was very sobering!! Take care Diane
DeleteI love all the views, Diane, Nigel took some beautiful photos! And the vintage cars...and that pink van, are gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteI agree the pink 2CV is lovely, Nigel is too tall to drive them though as we did at one stage think about buying one!!! Have a good Sunday Diane
DeleteOh my goodness, what a parade of beautiful old cars. This is one parade I would have loved to have seen. Thanks for sharing Diane, superb photos!
ReplyDeleteThanks Denise, I missed it as I was busy but luckily for me Nigel took lots of photos. Keep well Diane
DeleteGreat photos Nigel!!
ReplyDeleteThe Citroen van certainly stands out. What a collection of vintage cars.
A very pretty vehicle and yes it does stand out :-) Cheers Diane
DeleteI see the temperature is dropping! Oh those cars, restored and maintained with such love. I think I'd be too nervous to drive them for fear of scratching someone's precious project.
ReplyDeleteWe had old cars in South Africa and I always used to park miles from anywhere to stop people from swinging doors open. It did not always work though some people are very inconsiderate!! Keep well. Cheers Diane
DeleteWow! Those are beautiful vintage cars! Have a wonderful day!
ReplyDeleteThanks Nancy, glad that you enjoyed them. Keep well Diane
DeleteNigel's quite the photographer too. I love old cars, much more elegant and classy than today's models.
ReplyDeleteI agree the old cars are much more classy and far more fun to drive. Long trips though a newer cars have advantages! Cheers Diane
DeleteThe cars are fabulous Diane, that's quite a diverse selection.. naturally j'adore the older vintage, particularly the Morgan, so very elegant oui!
ReplyDeleteWe are both Porsche fans our favourite being the model 356. Seldom ever see them out nowadays though, they are now sooooo expensive. Mush more fun the new cars. Cheers Diane
DeleteLove the village buildings (as always!!) what a fun car show for us!!
ReplyDeleteGlad that you enjoyed it, take care and have a good week Diane
DeleteLove the pink Citroen van and would make it into a camper. Owned a Mustang convertible like that. Sorry I'm so far behind.
ReplyDeleteWe thought about buying a 2CV but it is too small for Nigel to fit his 6'4" frame into!!! Diane
