I took my old digital camera only to find both SD cards full. I bought a new card and discovered the old camera couldn't cope with the massive storage space on the new card (seems I need a new camera). But as luck would have it the new SD card fitted perfectly into my Sony Handicam which also takes stills (fairly nice ones too)...

After finally loading the old SD cards onto a different computer, plus the new one, I can actually do something constructive with the pix!

I felt the 2018 show was a little disappointing re the number of display cars vs the great weather, but there were lots of spectators and I managed to get more photos than ever! I'm hoping I didn't observe alarming developments, but there were very few high-end display cars and almost no-one showing off their lavish sound systems. Many of the cars that did attend were starting to leave around lunchtime and maybe that was due to the large queues at the all-too-few food trailers?

On a brighter note, it was covered by the TV news that evening and its apparently the largest one-day car display in the Southern Hemisphere!

I only sighted 2 x W126 300SEs, a 380SL, a 450SL, plus a 300SEL 3.5 from the Benz camp.

Whilst it's great to be able to upload more than one image at once, it was rather slow so I might try a smaller size for the next set (this lost was for 17" monitors and I assume around 750kb ea once compressed)

BTW I had a lens protector on for the first few hence the rounded corners...

I'm hoping we don't have the 'Photobucket problems' with Postimage in the future??? The following are 800x600 (15") images to compare the quality on your screen with the previous pix... Still slow!

Lets try a lower resolution (640x480). I still like using the largest practical images since they're more rewarding to view.

Nice pics, thanks for sharing. Did you find out the story behind the old Combi Ute with the spot light ?

Nah I didn't speak to many owners apart from some friends that I caught up with at the show. Just like the exterior, the interior was very basic and 'rat rod' inspired.

Whilst I appreciate every classic, well loved line of every make and model in attendance, I really liked your Buick ornamental photograph despite the apparent shifts in sunshine on that day. Attendees are quick to post their videos to Youtube in addition to uploading their photographs to websites which I very much enjoy viewing every year.
