Car Meet by maggiemae

Car Meet

On our way up north we stopped for lunch and then my photo opportunity arrived in the form of three Morris Minors! The were also going north to some Classic Car Meet.

Our car is parked next to these three and is of quite a different nature!

Three Good things:
1. My club sandwich was nice but not as nice as John's corned beef melt!
2. Got all the way up to Christchurch in the rain where we are meeting a grandson who has a Graduation, without any delays!
3.I love Thai food!
What little beauties.. I had one like the little white one only grey..

I was that wood panelled estate, always thought they were something special!

They knew how to make them in those days.....little beauties ! We used to have one of those wood panelled ones in Old English White.
A graduation is a proud moment....where is your grandson maggiemae....Lincoln by any chance?

@amandal that was our car, Amanda and as I remarked to John, much more comfortable!
April 16th, 2014  
Nice shot. Love these classic cars. I am sure yours and mine are more comfortable.
April 16th, 2014  
Nice exhibition, but I think I prefer the comfort of your car !

You find the best cars and take such wonderful pictures of them. I love this lineup.

They were great little cars in their day. The middle one is a very early model it has a split screen, smaller wheels and rear window. The traveller is in great condition.
April 16th, 2014  
That takes me back!

cool autos
April 16th, 2014  
Yeah, these are great!

I love the dark rich colours in this capture. They seem to suit the subject and provide a slightly vintage look.

What a great photo op! I love old cars! They are so nice to see! Very lucky for you that they parked where they did. I do like the difference between them and your modern car. Very nicely captured! :)
