Once Upon A Time, back in the olden days I had a login for this place. Then I lost it and I think the URL (or at least my bookmark) changed and all seemed lost. So we'll start again shall we with a recap of my summer adventures so far.
I suppose I am lucky* that work takes me to a lot of car shows and I see a lot of interesting* old stuff. Some of you may have already feasted your eyes on the facebook page but for those who haven't had the pleasure, heres a recap of the year so far.
We started with the Stamford Hall VW Show, lots of shiny VWs as you'd imagine together with predictable scened up silliness but this was my favourite -

Utterly standard, base model and incredibly clean. I'm impressed that someone had lavished such care on something so ordinary.
Jetta was at the same venue and was also a bit good

Few weeks later we did Bristol Volksfest. Same shiny VWs but down in t'southwest. This was something you don't see so much of though

VW shows are all well and good but do get a bit samey so we threw ourselves at a few classic shows as well. The following were at Bodelwyddan Castle in that Wales -
