I decided to go along to the Retro Rides Gathering at Shelsley Walsh near Worcester on Sunday. Quite a long drive but worth it. Saw some car varieties there that I hadn't seen for years, and others that I had never seen before in the metal, as well as the usual suspects. Heavy rain and lightning started at 12:30pm leading to a mass exodus, but I managed to get round the whole show before then.

Here's a selection...

Don't worry, the majority of cars over here in the UK are really boring too. I go to the shows to escape the mundanity! I tend to home in on the unusual anyway... There are only so many MG Bs, VW Beetles and Morris Minors (the most common classic cars over here) you can see before you become completely blind to them.
