Harry was waiting patiently, he had been surrounded several times by crowds whilst we were wandering. Some fun traffic spots. #WeirdCarMastodon #CarShow #Nissan #Datsun

Took Erik and Harry out on Sunday morning for a cars and coffee. Erik's first show with registration plates that he got to under his own steam.

@mandelbroccoli@cupoftea.social they don't bar the guy who has one here with the ugly generic LED headlights and weird headlight covers. I've snapped him before a few times, makes the car look ugly AF.

This Maserati would have cost a fortune when new, they're a rare thing to see nowadays. The Aud wasn't great against the Lira. #WeirdCarMastodon #carshow #carsncoffee
