Car Show in Alpharetta, Georgia

This is a Daimler, a precursor to the Mercedes Benz

Hello, Ducky! Sorry I haven't been around lately. Had to deal with some family issues and it has left me drained. All is well. But if I have not returned your email or phone call, please know that it isn't because I don't care. I have to hibernate sometimes to deal with sensory overload.

Last week end, my Jimmy took me to a local car show. It was about 25 miles north of us, I think, in old downtown Alpharetta.

This was an all British show. I get my love of cars from my father, I think. Although not a rich man, he has owned least one of these different brands except for the Rolls Royce, in his lifetime. He loved all cars though so it would be hard to catalog all of them.

When I was of driving age, he gave me his MG midget, and later, his MGB, both in British racing green and both convertibles. What fun it was to drive them!

MGB, don't know the year, sorry.

It was a mizzling day but it was not too hot. (A mizzle is a cross between a mist and drizzle-an Irish term). All the cars were very close together so it was hard to get good clean shots.
 

1933 (?) Rolls Royce

I don't think my father ever cared to know if there was an engine inside; he just love the cachet of owning certain cars.

Jaguar

 

 

 

 

Another Jag, different model.

Do you know the joke about owning a Jag? They say you must afford 2 of them, because one is always in the shop. The first XKE that my father owned, was lemon yellow and boy was it a lemon.

Allard, rare

And the hood.

I think this is an MGA. What a beauty!

These small sports cars were a joy to drive but I wouldn't drive one in the traffic we have in this age.
It would surely be a death trap.

Looks like my old one except for the color

A Bug eyed Sprite. Jim loves this one.

Last of all the Red Rolls Royce. I didn't like this because the color I think cheapens it. But somebody is having fun with it. Notice the Grey Poupon on the tray in the backseat?

Oops! I didn't get a full side view.

Well that is all, my friend! Thanks for coming along on our little car show. It was a fun day.


Peace and love of Jesus be with you today and always!
