Cool cars sighted on my UK trip

These ones:

Yeah, so I drove to England and back over the weekend for a big multi-club Lotus meetup & show. I didn't find all the spare parts I was hoping to but it was loads of fun. 1300 km each way plus a ferry crossing but it was totally worth it. The second day was double-billed with another classic Britcar/other car show, and a big swap meet which was kind of useless since I don't own a 1957 Rover of any sort. Went for a curry night and a pub night with the guys from my Elan club, endured a shockingly cold night in the campground (seriously, +17 C high, -2 low? WTF?), drank quality British ale, all the good stuff. I took 700-odd photos but I've managed to trim them down to the 211 best. Here are some highlights:

Empty Autobahn driving

Car wash party!

Holy crap it's cold!

We convoyed from a meetup point to the main show Saturday morning

My Elan will eventually become this colour.

Holy E36 M3! Someone's gone and lowered a Europa. My head asplode.

Some random other cars from the show on Sunday:

^^ WTF is this? It was parked with the Minis.

I can't possibly post everything here so feel free to browse through my full albums from the weekend. They are:
Thursday (driving over)
Friday (set up day)
Saturday (show day)
Sunday (show day)
Monday (driving home)

man is that the entire production run of 2nd gen elans? love the mark 2 escort.

Wow.

Thanks for sharing.

Great trip.
I looked through every page of photos that you listed. Near the top of my list would be the John Player Special Europa in the Saturday section.

Great pics. I loved the Sunbeam/Chrysler Talbot. Why oh why couldn't they bring that over here. Omni/Horizon only RWD.

In reply to Jay:

Shoulda dropped in for a cup of tea .

Ya, I thought I should have given you a call but I planned this trip the same way I plan all my holidays, i.e. mad scramble at the last minute. Was only in Dover area until 9:00 Friday morning anyway, sorry.

I'm REALLY glad I decided to book the ferry in advance after all. I was originally just going to buy my ticket at the departure terminal. That would have gone well.

No worries - the 'mad scramble at the last minute' trips are usually the best. Glad you got a ferry, though, it sounded quite bad here on the news.
