British Car Show

On Sunday, Grammy and Grampy entered their two classic cars in a Bristish car show held in Waterford, Connecticut.  The day-long show featured several hundred cars and although we only caught the tail end of it, we were there in time to see many of them - and to see Grammy and Grampy each win first place for their cars!!  I think that the girls have caught a glimpse of the cars over the years, but this was the first time that they got to sit in them and they loved it!
Grampy's beloved 58 Austin Healey, which he built from scratch over the course of ten years, ordering parts from all over the world (pre-internet days!).

Grammy show the girls the '71 MG Midget.
Grampy bought this MG before he and Grammy were married and they drove it to Nova Scotia on their honeymoon.  It's so tiny, I can't even imagine that trip. 


Elizabeth "drove" the MG too!
