Motoring Pageant 2011 (Part 2)

 It was difficult to choose a favourite car at the pageant but the lipstick red coloured ones drew my attention.

These field singers in their 1940's outfits also drew admiring glances as they sang 'Mr sandman.....bring me a dream...'

 The shiny jetstream and airstream caravans looked as though they has just landed from outer space.

 A duck egg blue Austin, I am sure would meet with approval from many of my blogging friends.

 A curvy two tone Dodge.

This car owner had a sense of humour.  The sign says ' only lean on me if you are in the nude as buttons and zips damage my bodywork'!

 A VW camper van.  Now I NEED one of those!

 A silver corvette.

 A bright turquoise Chevrolet.

 Back to the reds.

Red, curvy and chromed.  A winning combination!

Motoring Pageant 2011

 I attended a local motoring pageant yesterday.  As a non-driver, and not particularly fond of the look and design of today's modern cars, nevertheless, I absolutely adore British and American classic cars and if I was to own one I would definitely learn to drive it.

 Being a cat lover I was drawn to this Riley with a lovely little cat sitting on the radiator.

 The car owners put so much love and care into their upkeep and the chrome shone brilliantly in the sunshine.

 The finishing touches on the cars make all the difference.

 These ice cream coloured cars were among my favourites.

 I am not even a great lover of pink but I could easily fall for this car.

 If 'ice cream' is not your thing than why not opt for a Howes pure fruit lollie!

 This is a 'Singer' car and I thought they only made sewing machines!

 I just love these American signs.

 Beautiful bikes and American flags in the Route 66 Marquee.

A wonderful and inspiring day shared with motoring enthusiasts countrywide.

Enfield Motoring Pageant

I know. Yes! I am supposed to be on a blogging break but I really wanted to share these pictures of some of the beautiful cars on display at the Enfield Motoring Pageant.

There really is no need for words as the pictures speak for themselves.

This caravan really did have bling. It even had etched glass windows!

In my haste to post up the pictures I managed to delete a few of them! I hope you can get a taste of what was on show. Must go now - not had much success with the watercolour painting so far but do have a crochet project on the go. I may pop in again before the summer is out! Have a wonderful summer season. x
