Let's show off our other toys here, besides the Z

Too many fish paste sandwiches (on white bread of course)

So if MGB owners eat fish paste sandwiches... what sandwiches would Z owners be eating?.... M&S prawn cocktail sandwiches on wholemeal?

Funny you should mention that.
We were at a big classic show in June with the 'Fauxrrari', having our picnic of Lidl sausage rolls, etc on our Tesco cheap camping chairs. A chap walked past and said to the wife "if you had a spread of caviar, Foie Gras and Bollinger no-one would bat an eyelid". Made her smile.

They do like an encampment.
I've been to plenty of classic car shows and the MG brigade do like their flags, gazebos and deckchairs.

So do the Jag brigade, just better quality furniture.

as a regular visitor and exhibitor at many car shows with my second hand camping chair, jam and ham butties and can of Coke Zero I can confirm that by far the worst exhibitors are the Mercedes club who usually sprout their own brass Jazz band!

There was a big RR and Bentley club contingent at one show this year. They were in a different league. Bow ties...the lot. And that was just the ladies!

Of course they had the prime spot directly in front of the 'big house'. TBF they did own some amazing old motors.

When I wrote "the big house" I did think of a prison TBH. It was actually much further south; nearer yours and my homeland.

At least we don't wear string-backed driving gloves!

I never knew why people wore driving gloves. Please enlighten me Iain (as I know you are of that generation).

Is it because 'back in the day' the heaters didn't work very well?

Or car coats with the single vertical stripe on one side.... I remember my neighbours having matching car coats when they went out on expeditions in their citroen picasso
