Capesthorne Hall

On a wet and windy Bank Holiday Monday it made a pleasant change not to have the caravan in tow when heading of to a show, this was the situation as we set off for Capesthorne Hall to the Motorvating show, Capesthorne is situated on the A34 near macclesfield so it was a fairly local show only 30 miles away Thw weather forecasters had predicted a day os sunshine and slight winds boy did they get it wrong, with heavy rain and wind for most of the day.

Colin baffled the commentator with his words of wisdom

The eventual winner was the Dodge Dart of Angie and rightly so as well , along with Best American she also was awarded the Motorvating award as well . With the prizegiving over and in typical fashion the sun came out just as every one was heading off home.This is another small show that would benefit from some   support of people before it  too dissappears but despite the poor weather there was a good turnout proving that the American vehicle does have a place at the British Classic car Show.

Absolutly stunning Mustang Fastback was right on the button.. oooh yes please...

Corvette made the short pilgramage  from Manchester

This Galaxie was big in every  department
