    Helmingham Festival of Classic & Sports cars.

    On Sunday I went to this show. It’s a very distinguished show in these areas, it is held at a large country estate. All the cars line up in the gardens and people come round and admire the cars, later in the day a few of the cars go off down one of the drive ways which isn't very long but some of the fast cars can touch 80mph maybe at a push. Me and my Dad went to it this year and something rather pleasing happened. Before the show we had arranged to meet with the members from the Piston Heads web site, since my Dad is a member, in a supermarket car park (for those British members it was a Tescos), this was so that we could all be parked in the same place in the gardens. When we got there they all had TVRs (Two Chimeras and three Griffiths), and there was also one Triumph TR7. When we were parked up in the gardens the Libra was proudly sitting in the middle off the lot so the PistonHeads.com banner was placed just behind us ! When the show opened, because no one at the show had seen one before (bar two blokes, one knew us and the other had a friend with the convertible version) they all flocked over to look at the Libra and completely ignored those Russian (J/k) sports cars.
