Cars in the Square

 Today was a car show which was initially supposed to be in Winchester City centre but the council obviously thought they were single-handedly going to save the planet by not having the show, so it was moved to Southampton centre.

An enjoyable 80 mile drive out there and my wheel didn't fall off even once, so that was nice...

The weather was stonking and there were some cool cars on show...

This straight-piped Testarossa sounded much better than the original - the owner of this has 40 other cars in his collection!


This guy had squeezed a K20 with turbo (just) into his Mini van:





Great paint job:



When I was younger, this was one of my dream cars - Alpine A10:




Beautiful 3.0 CSL - the owner had another one which had been trashed by a woman who fell asleep at the wheel of her car! She got a payout in 2 weeks, this owner got a broken leg, his wife broke her spine and it took 2 years to get a payout:


McLaren GT:





Obviously, the best car on show:


Lovely run back in the sun, although too much traffic to have much fun and they've put average speed cameras on one of my favourite roads!
