May Bank Holiday 2009 and those dedicated enthusiasts for coke and diesel digesting vehicles are back!

 

As usual, Genevieve leads the way

There are, however, some very un Victorian accompaniments

See what I mean?

I really don't see the connection here; but who cares.
Some just sit it out on a car roof.

Happiness is traction engine shaped.

One things for sure, there are a lot of very dedicated enthusiasts for keeping our steam heritage going.

This charming lady was playing a hand actuated barrel organ.
They really are magnificent.

Later, we see some of the buses parade around the town.

and lorries. On the Sunday evening, it's time for the Marine Drive to take the Grand Parade. I was up there in time with my 400mm lens.

and then, a beautiful example of a Sunbeam Talbot Mk III came by, reminding me of my own Sunbeam Talbot Mk IIa that I owned in the mid 1960's.
This was my own car, just after a wax polishing. I am told that the colour scheme of mine was not original.

I wonder if it is still around...

If it is, will the owner please contact me?
