British Car Day @ Larz Anderson Park

Other than being a bit cluttered as to the groupings of cars the show was great! The main lawn was full, and the cars spilled over to the lower lawn as the day Progressed. Dad & I got there around 10:00, and we didn't finish our first round of walking around until noon! We got to chat with tons of people, some old friends, and some new ones. I commented that when we first started attending these shows we didn't know that many people, and this year it seemed we were chatting with someone every few feet!

Steve Mackay did really well, the TR3, MGA Deluxe, and Car "the great" Thompson's Austin Healey each won best in their respective classes. Although if your familiar with his work it shouldn't be THAT big of a suprise!

One guy pulled up in his car (also a 1974 MGB) and commented on how he loved that I didn't put the chrome overriders on my car, nor the side mirrors. It was cool to see someone pick up on those little things. As the day wound down, we were shooting the crap with so many people we didn't leave the park until 3:30!

Overall a great day.

Here's some pics from the show!

I was at the Larz Anderson with my Primrose yellow '73 MGB.
Did you see it there?
