The
Historique, Classique and Heritage classes of the Monte Carlo Rally
departed from Paisley this evening. I didn't think I'd make it, the
weather was horrendous - hail, snow & thunder - but it backed off
so I got there.

Cool cars. Wouldn't that be fun to take part in?
ReplyDeleteIt's great that there are people who built and drive these oldies.
DeleteThere were lots of cool cars, I think my favourite was the big Merc. If it was painted black it would be perfect for some gangsters!
