Here are some pictures from the car show my dad was in on the weekend. It's called "Britts in the park" and is a yearly event held in Lindsay, Ontario, that is very popular. There were around 250 British cars that are really the main attraction, and are voted on, but there was easily over 1000 various cars in total. Here's a short video clip.

My dad's MG is the yellow one \:\) .

Hope you guys enjoy them.

PS. You must excuse the picture quality, they are taken with my cell phone, and don't do the vehicle's justice.

Wonderful, Cam! That is a great batch of pictures, and looks like a really fun event.

Given you recent history with pictures, though, I was a little surprised and disappointed to not see Teri sprawled across the hood of a TR6 or something. \:\)

Hey!

Cam made the Victoria British Car Club web site lead photo for the event!

Also wanted to put in a plug for my dear friend John, who is lovingly and completely restoring a 1954 MGTF. He has been an inspiration and mentor to me in many ways, but I can only hope to enjoy his journey, not follow it.

Our good friend Vally Alley, took that photograph and I thought it was for himself; rather surprising \:\) .

Nice pics Cam. My dream car is one of those old '30s MGs.

WOW! I read about the restoration of the '54 MGTF Tom. I will enjoy following it's progress. As you may know, back in the day, I was an MGB owner. The 1971 model below was my second one. My first was a 1965 model.

Hi Cam,
Thanks for posting the photos it looked like a lot of fun. My late wife had a MGB very similar to Jack's, it was blue and had 3 windshield wipers.

Have you ever come down to the British Car Day at Bronte Creek? It's hosted by the Toronto Triumph club and this is their 26th annual event. It features about 1,000 Brit cars.

This year it's on Sunday Sept. 20th.

More info can be found here: http://www.torontotriumph.com/BCD/

250 British cars? That place is one big oil slick after they leave.

I kid, I kid.

It would take an equal number of Harleys to create a true disaster area.

Don't forget the can of Dry-n-go for the lucas electrics.

Q. Why do the Brits drink warm beer?

A. Because they use lucas electronics in their refridgerators.
