This will be another very concise post – as have several over the past couple of weeks – this time mostly because we had a visitor and so it’s later than I’d normally start typing this. I’ll write longer posts again at some point, honest – maybe even break the three paragraph mark! 🙂

So, we have today the bonnet of a Ford Consul Capri. I know little about this car, but was attracted to the stars on the grille, which have a charmingly kitsch look about them.

As well as all the steam engines, the steam rally I attended last weekend also had a good selection of vintage cars, trucks and bikes, including the odd import. Here’s the hood of a Lincoln Continental. I’m afraid my car knowledge is lacking – I like to photograph them, but my knowledge extends little beyond that aspec – so I don’t know which year this model is from.
