These have been hanging about for a while, but online now -O.K, I mislaid the disc!
Taken by Brock on his recent jaunt to the States. The Good Guys rod meet in Orange County, California.
Some nice machinery. Thanks Steve.

How about this. Looks like a Bentley tourer at first glance. Check out the trunk on the back. Bet that upsets a few vintage fans!

   The car is badged as a Riley ,I think, all very well done, the owner is a professional upholsterer as the hood fit and interior showed. It was the trailing arm front that caught my eye but even that is wrapped in leather gaiters and uses lever arm friction dampers. The guy had quite a sense of humour and we spent a while just chatting, as I was leaving he was hamming it up with an older American showgoer who was telling him about the ones that they used to see when they were based in the You-Kay with the airforce, lovely.
