Today was the Wellington Vintage Fair And Swapmeet. I had to attend, of course. Steam Engines! There was onlt one Stanley Steamer this year, but there were a lot more traction engines and a steam roller. The local vintage motor clubs had all their old stationary engines, pumps, and threshing machines out. One bloke had a 1930s kerosene motor running a 110VDC generator, which powered an antique blender he used to crush ice and sell to visitors.

Cars cars cars! MGs, Jaguars, Pontiacs, Chevorlets, Chryslers, Morrises, Fords, Holdens, Dodges, Mustangs, Mini Copers (new ones) Mini Coopers (real ones), Austins, even a Leyland P76. There were hundreds of old, oldish, and a bit old cars. Photos to come.

I am sunburned and happy.

This is rather auspicious event ya know :)

*grins*
Three years ago you went to the Wellington Vintage Fair and Swapmeet and took a bunch of photos (http://dewhitton.livejournal.com/434258.html), which you then posted to LiveJournal. This post encouraged a newish LiveJournal member (had only been on LJ for a month), to finally quit lurking and speak up. So it was that [livejournal.com profile] james_b made his first public LJ appearance...

The rest as they say, is history :)
