I didn't take many photos but this Amazon was my favourite car there on the Sunday.

If anybody likes car shows and hasn't been to retro rides it is by far the best car show I've ever been to, I've been going since 2014 and been camping since 2018 from the Friday to the Sunday, it's a very relaxed atmosphere and everyone is having a laugh.

I went for the Sunday and was very entertaining. Lots of great cars to view.

Always seems to be some 18 yr old with a snap back on standing on the roof of a volvo but other than that was excellent.

Looks ok apart from it's too low and has a sex toy where the handbrake should be :teeth_smil e:

Tom's amazon does look nice and as you would expect the finishing details are all there. A few things I am not keen on but would be boring if we all built cars the same

Some nice looking well presented cars shown here:~ well done to the owners.

Visited a local car show in Lancashire just recently, all sorts of cars pre & post war models (took the Riley)
The work and enthusiasm that people put into cars regardless of model/age is to be applauded!
Regards Bob.

That is where the factory handbrake lives, Volvo only moved to the centre with the 240

It's a hydraulic handbrake and I think it is on air suspension.
