Cranleigh Classic Car Show

 A sweltering hot, cloudless day made this huge show a little uncomfortable but more later...

I had a fun drive to the show to meet up with the rest of the Surrey Porksters at about 8.30am:

The place soon filled up with great cars - a Troop of Tigers:

Cohort of Cobras:

Herd of Stags:

Maul of Morgans:

Scourge of S2000s:

How did any car that looked this amazing not sell better? So what if it wasn't reliable - look at it!

My star of the show was this stunning TVR Chimera - never seen one in such good nick:

...and left a cheeky note on this very dusty Mustang:

At 30 degC, it was damn hot and I would have liked to stay a bit longer but the other half (she had come a little later with my son) was flagging, so we left around 2pm. Driving a convertible on a hot day with the aircon blowing on your feet is a bucket-list ticker.

It was such a nice evening that I went out later for a night drive - a little too late to get decent pics but this came out nicely:

I think I will need to change my coolant sensor - while cold, it keeps beeping at me and I get a message saying 'failure of instrument' or something like that. Looks to be a simple job and I may change my fan belt at the same time - no obvious mention in the service history of it ever being done before. Will also be an excuse to see the FRONT of my engine, to go with the top view.
