Every car in this Delahaye series looks like it's straight out of a cartoon.

Ha, I guess we're "lucky" to play the US version, crazy to think how much worse the UK one is, apparently!

Notable odometer entry?
Major and minor straight...

Snapshot of the small main panel on a BMW i3. Main odometer: 123456 km Trip odometer: 098.7 km I suppose 789.0 km on the latter would have been more elegant but by the time I realised it was coming up it was too late to hit the reset for the math to line up

We took Frank and Erik to a car show on Sunday. It's a big one, we took Harry last year and there were hundreds of cars. It's a British and European show, so sorry Roger the Rabbit, you can't go.

Spotted a Cube on the way! @tikibunnyimports

People were actually interested in Frank! 😭

I stuck his show plates on and at the end of it, completely forgot they were on and drove home with them on 🤦‍♂️

A few VWs arrived. Seeing as there was no Austrian section, it seemed like the right area to park Erik in. He's a cousin to VWs.

Next to the VWs some Porsches parked up. More cousins!

Even a 914 came! They used to be ignored by Porsche owners but they've gained some respect in recent years here.

Then I spotted this Austin Champ, never seen one in the flesh before. ADF used to use these.
