Great! Saw a similar show in Mississauga a couple of years back. Nice hobby if you have a large garage and tool set.

Nice collection of Brit iron. Nice pictures too, Arthur.

That Lotus 11 is awesome.

I'd hate to see the grass after this meet.  Would make that spill in the Gulf look like a little puddle.  :P

Paul, I drove a 20 yr Miata to "Miatas in Moab IV" for the previous weekend via San Antonio racking up 8,140 kms with only an oil change

Amazing.  All those cars which filled the roads when I was a kid and people still keep them alive... and probably more reliable and in better condition than when they came from the factory.

The 11 is amazing - scratch built. Same guy built a scratch built Seven too. I had a nice chat with him which was great after following his builds for years. He's completed two cars in the time I haven't finished my one.
