Classic Car, Commercial & Steam Rallies
Selected dates for the current year

I began attending classic car and commercial shows following the purchase of my first classic car, the Daimler V8 250. You will find, on the subsequent pages, a few pictures (with or without commentary) of these shows which I hope you will find of interest. As this site has limited capacity, most of the older images have been moved to my picasaweb site.
