I'm really getting into the car show scene now and yet another large gathering yesterday at Tatton Park for the Stars & Stripes American car show. Must have been at least 500 cars and a massive spectator turnout.

Anyway, I got my first trophy




Who says size matters..

Congratulations last year I was into the car shows, got me a couple of trophies, this year I just hadn't made it to any since a life changing event. I guess I still have time for one or two, we'll see.

Thanks brother brit, life is coming back around for me

As for the rigging in the car shows, I do believe that. One show I entered there was another 76 there that was not as nice as mine (nice is a relative term ), and I believe that because she was a she and was friends with the club that put the show on she placed higher than I did... Just my opinion of course.
