As part of my prep for the long charity bike ride I undertook in September, I was doing some longer rides from home to get some miles in. On one of these rides, I headed from home to the coast. To be honest, I had planned the route on the computer, and I didn’t really know many of the places I was going through. A lot of it was countryside but I did come through some towns. As I was heading out of one of them, I passed a bunch of people and cars parked in a car park.

I stopped and went back to see what sort of vehicles these folks had brought along. There was quite a selection of old vehicles and some that weren’t so old. However, I guess it is a question of perspective because some of the cars that were there seemed recent to me until I thought of when they were registered. Then it was obvious that they were now rather old – just like me! Yes, we had some more familiar “vintage” vehicles but in the background of one of the shots you might spot an Austin Metro! I didn’t hang around too long because I was on a mission, but it was a fun break and rather amusing!
