Hey guys,
Finally, My much anticipated first Little British Car Show!
Keep in mind, I still know very little about these cars.
I arrived at Harbin Park (Fairfield Ohio). It a well maintained municiple park on the outskirts of the city. There was a five dollar a person gate charge (kids were five bucks too). My wife daughter and I parked in the lower lot and walked immediately up to the midget section. Not really knowing what to expect I was suprised by the variety of cars. We walked past a clean red 1970ish tilt nose Saab. Very interesting car.
As we approached the music was blaring and many people milling about. We first met a friendly gentleman named Chip. He was extremely accommodating and offered to let the wife and daughter sit in his green 74 midget I'm amazed how small these cars really are. But, the wife said it was nice sitting in a seat with the foam and webbing I good shape. Note: I need to replace all but the frame on my seats.
Unfortunately there were only three street midgets and one race version. I did get an idea of what the interiors should be like. Suprisingly, my interior is not much worse than many of the cars i saw. I may have too high an aspiration for my car. I honestly thought a car show would be full of A Class freshly restored cars... Let's just say I'm still naive. These people obviously drive their cars.... Alot... And that's a good thing.
Also, some of the paint jobs where really disappointing... Again I'm naive. These cars are forty to fifty years old. It really was an eye opening experience ( in a good way). As I saw many types of vehicles I had never seen up close before. My wife fell in love with a 53' (?) morgan(?). It was burgundy and black and absolutely gorgeous.
All in all we had good time and met an interesting mix of people and vehicles. Some ( lotus guy) a little over the top.
The most disappointing parts was the lack of swap meet material ( I need a hood). I think there was one guy with a few odds and ends at the swap section.
I plan on visiting the Dayton show which should be fun and maybe get a ride in a midget. I will post a pic later of the wife ( traitor) in the 2011 white jaguar ( sport?)
Thanks for reading guys. Hope I didn't offend anyone
