Event -
National Classic Car Weekend - 8th, 9th, 10th June 2018
Report courtesy of Chris
Several of our own petrol heads
went off to Cardiff for a weekend of classic cars and seeing the
hills, valleys, and some of the sights on offer!
There was the usual wide variety of cars and we met up once again with ex Shirley Late Knight Colin Turton - in his lovely 'E' Type Jag - and of course many others who have now become good friends of ours! We visited an old mine working, now a museum, the Welsh Whisky Distillery, and the Musem of History of Welsh Life, otherwise known as St Fagan's National Museum of History.
For more, I suggest you peruse the photos (and captions) below.
