First major car show on the main land. It was supposed to rain so brought my 'belly and rubber boots. As you can see it turned out perfect. Pulled up behind an MGR in the ferry line up so talked to the driver on the way over (2 hours). There were as many cars as last year so the doom and gloom forecast that didn't turn out didn't scare many away. There were only 3 TR8's and 3 TR7's (over 600 cars) as many as the DMC's. Got first prize in class. I did forgo the Triumph barbecue after the show to have dinner with sister and family and caught the last ferry back to the Island. I was up at 3:30 am and I got home at midnight so it was a long day.

Can you spot the TR7 parts used on the red Tiger in the slide show?

For those out of province, BCIT (the tent) stands for British Columbia Institute of Technology.

First prize. One 7 had to die to keep the tiger cool.[:(]

He did a good job though. From the top it looked like he had the hood punched.

In retrospect I should have taken some pics of interior of the MacLarens. I was thinking more in terms of the over all of the show as opposed to individual shots to get a sense of the size of the show, although there were a few of those. There where two pics of the girls Ron, I must have got you all excited.[:p]

The picture of the MGR's were the two with the sign up front that said Modern MG's 1981 - 2013. (Still thinking of the girls?)
