Deal Vintage Motor Show

A beautiful Rolls Royce Smile

This is not my usual sort of blog, but I thought some of you would like to see some beautiful old cars and motorbikes, not to mention the vintage tractors and lifeboat models. The show was held on Walmer Green on Saturday, it was a beautiful day, there was a lovely atmosphere, and lots of people milling around admiring the gleaming machines.

The proceeds of the show went to the RNLI, which is a great cause, I hope they made lots of money Smile

After I had had a good look round I bumped into a friend who has a beach hut opposite the Lifeboat house, so I enjoyed a cup of tea with them and basked in the sun. I even got sunburnt, and have definitely gathered a few more freckles!!

    I like old motors but only to look at and like you I'm not all the au fait with them. I'm sure though for every hour driven in them, there's an hour spent buried in the bonnet trying to sort it.

    It fairly looked like the weather favored the car show. =) I love that convertible Rolls-Royce! Whenever I see one in car shows, I always think of the black-and-white, Victorian era. It’s just so sophisticated!

    Ooh, Rolls Royce! It pretty much reminds me of my grandma and grandpa. In our house, we have this huge wedding photograph of grandpa and grandma sitting together in a vintage Rolls Royce. It’s very classic and sweet! :”>

    Ooh, that blue vintage tractor is awesome! I haven’t tried riding on a tractor, though. Haha! And if I ever get a chance, I would love to ride on a vintage one. Well, I would already be happy just by sitting on one! :’)
