[ROVERNET - UK] Brits in the Park

[Bill Robertson]

Hi Hank.........

                   Sorry i didn't know about that show at all..............I 
was at the Brits in the Park in Lindsay, Ontario............I highly 
recommend this show to all.............While the British cars get Victoria 
Park in Lindsay, all makes of classic cars get Kent street, which is the 
main drag and on which Victoria Park resides..........So for a show you get 
approx 200 or more Brits in a gorgeous treed setting in the park and well 
over 400 muscle and classic cars on the street...............The street is 
closed the length of the town and it is open only to the parked cars and 
people...........Alot of the shops are open with sidewalk sales too for 
anyone wishing to shop while they drool over the cars..............A great 
day for anyone ................LOL although my girlfriend was none too 
pleased that Rover didn't get a prize..................We lost to, among 
others, a nice Lotus Esprit which most of the younger crowd mistook for a 
Lamborguini and a gorgeous Ford Consul which of course had a $22000 
restoration job but was stunning...............Still a beautiful setting and 
a great day and while there were a lot af stunning cars in the end i'd still 
rather be driving my original 2000TC with paint chips and weathered seats 
.................It still puts a smile on my face

Hank........Let me know if you and Sally  or Steve and his wife  are coming 
up to any other events north of the border  with the 
Rovers...................Maybe British Car Day in September............with 
approximately 1200 British cars, but entirely not enough Rovers

Happy Rovering
