Instead of going to Cars & coffee today - I went to the Small Car Show

Great photos, thanks for sharing! I especially love the 3-wheel police car.

Some of those cars aren't very small though!

AWSOME! I love those cars. Micro cars are my favorite.
We had a Honda just like that 72 at the vintage shop I worked at. same color and everything. Put it next to a Mini, and you can see what they reverse-engineered it from. Glorified goldwing motor under the hood, and the wonder shifter sticking out of the bottom of the dash.
Good selection.
Pretty big for a little car show. hehehehe

How many shows are in your area each weekend?

Lots - often it's hard to choose which one to go to. There are a few sponsored events each weekend from now through the summer. The unsponsored ones are all year around. Some unsponsored ones are even on weeknights.

How many years has the one at Bob's Big Boy been goin' on? Since the cars were new? '58?

Thanks for sharing. A whole flock of itty bitty cars. /bcforum/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/grin.gif

I'm guessing this is a meet held by the Arcane Auto Society, or at least through them... Although that club is based out of San Francisco area...

And a nice collection of photos there, there are times when I'd almost rather take in a day with neat microcars than exotic cars, I know I'm strange...

Great photos! We get so involved with our little British cars that we have a tendency to forget that there is a whole world of other very interesting cars on the other side of the fence. Thanks for sharing these photos with us. Their great!

 

[vping]

Those are great Thanks. I don't know most of those cars but they certainly are small.

So everyone over here calls our cars LBCs, but I didn't see any other than the Minis and the Morris 1000 "Woody". Does that mean that the "Big Triumphs", as we used to call the TR's back 'ome, or the Spridgets are too big to qualify for this show?

Great to see some of the cars out there.

 

[Steve_S]

I've never liked the term "LBC".

And this is just one more reason that I miss not living in SoCal any more!! (Maybe someday...)

James,

Iused to belong to the Arcane club,back
when we got our first Cortina.These folks aren't
in a hurry to get where they're going when on a car
run.
I remember thinking that our car was too normal
for this group,but had my ego put in-check when it
quit about an hour from home (with all 5 of us in it).
That was also the day of the Oakland fire.
Fun group of people.
