The car show season is quickly coming to an end in this part of the world, so I'm getting out with the kids and grabbin pics while I can. I'll throw some up in this thread as I get the time.

Triumph, hmm... I must be ignorant.. I thought they only made motorcycles

Very nice looking though.

Oh yea.......My first love affair with cars involved a 1957 Triumph TR2. That brings back some memories. And I've always liked those goofy little Gremlins. You take one Gremlin, add one small block Chevy and you have one instant hotrod. That big rig is beyond awesome. Nice pics. $\:D/$

Nice pics guys.Got dial-up here and everytime Zam posts pics well worth the wait.

Zam-you remember what the Ford Fairlane had for a engine??.Was it a BBF??.

In the mid 60's Ford built a Fairlane with that huge tunnelport 427. They labeled it the "THUNDERBOLT". $\:D/$

Rob, its good to see that you finally made it out to a show,looks like you had great weather for it.Thanks for adding the pics

The Triumph's are a gorgeous little car and that TR4 was beautifully restored.

Thanks GEJ, as to what the Fairlane had for an engine I'm not positive,there is a badge just in front of the drivers front wheel that says 260, so it was probably not the 427 Thunderbolt that Skip mentioned.

I should probably carry a little pad and pen to write down more info on each car but with so many cars to see ( this was a HUGE show ) I just didn't have the time.

Found the illusive Bullitt combo of Stang and Charger, yea I know they are different colours and perhaps yrs,but its the closest I've come across at a show this yr...
