Beautiful day for the Queen's English Car Show, lots of wonderful British cars old and new, including many XKEs, X100s, XK150, a couple of X150s, older XJs, etc. as well as every other British marque.

 

Nice pics. Who is the man next to the XK?

 

The Youngest XK Driver in LA

 

That is my nearly 97 year old father-in-law out enjoying the day with me. A rather incredible man, he still works 60 hours per week in his factory, where he assembles many of the products his company produces (including the luggage racks we saw on several vintage Triumph convertibles, yesterday). He is so "young" and fit that he just wears me out with his boundless energy. We walked around acres of cars for hours, never sat down, never showed any signs of exhaustion (I did), never complained.

 

Hey I went there at 3:30pm, cruised around the whole park and didn't see anything.

 

Well God bless him and here's hoping for 20 more.

Still, gotta give a +1 to Q&C's wisecrack.

 

Heck he was the Star of the Show, all original parts and peak performance. Those cars were trailer queens that newer saw any work.
Must be the passion and enthusiasm?

 

BTW second picture is fantastic of before and after Ian Cullam.

 

Cheers!
