Default Car Show Surprise!
Neat surprise on the mail today. Kitty Paws, my XK8, won 2nd place in my division on the Winter Park British Cars Show! We left the event before the awards ceremony so didn't know. The awards letter said they couldn't mail the trophy stand to pick up on the next show. Coolies!

That's not bad for the first time out. I think there were a total of six or seven XK8/XKR cars that showed up.

Congratulations Mari.

That's a real achievement and even more so for a first time out.

Congratulations! Now would be a good time to get a vaccination for car show fever. Never mind, the vaccination doesn't work. Nice job,

That's awesome! Dad deserves a big hug.

I would love to see the car. I gotta get out to a show sometime again soon.

No, just voted on by other participants. We never thought with so many mods/non-standard paint/hood leaper, etc. that we had a chance.
