In an attempt to sell our old mini and entertain ourselves, my dad and I went to the Classic Car Festival (http://www.classiccarfestival.com) on the circuit in Assen. About an hour driving from my place. Since there are some car enthousiasts here, I figured some of you might be interested in the pictures.

Jaguar E-type. I like this car, but the color doesn't suit it at all.

I thought this little statue on the hood was funny. I've never heard of the brand though.

This man wore silly pants, but he probably looks silly without them too.

If anybody's interested, I've got high resolution images too. Just ask for it.

those are some cool pics arrr.  
did you sell the mini?

btw, i have never even heard of most of those cars :P

Nope, we didn't sell it. There weren't that many people, so we decided to leave after a few hours. We did get in contact with some guy that sells mini's though. Maybe he can send some interested buyers our way.

One of the cool things about living in Detroit is that we have shows like this constantly.  Next weekend is the Woodward dream cruise.  It's basically where a bunch of old asses drive around in thier hyper sweet cars.  Look it up on the web and you should see some nice pics.

Ehhh, screw it Here is some stuff for you guys.

Here is some stuff about the cruise itself:

Sweet cars. I was going to go to a car show yesterday too...but i got my NES stuff instead. Not much of a trade off. i would of like to have gone.
I like alot of the vintage cars they just look better than the ones from the late 80s and 90s and todays cars are to expensive for me.

I just realized Rapter is Rapier.

Is your dad's car an early 80's model? It looks like the Espirits I remember being out in those times but I really haven't followed the progression since then.

It's from 1982.
